Deep in the lush African rainforest, two unlikely friends—Edgar the elephant and Agnes the chimpanzee—discover that while they're very different, they’re also better together.
Edgar dreams of climbing high into the trees, just like Agnes. But despite his size and strength, his feet stay firmly on the ground. Agnes, quick and nimble, tries to help—but what works for a chimp doesn’t always work for an elephant. Disappointed, the two friends stumble on a log that has fallen across another log, and Agnes comes up with a wild idea… As more and more animals join their effort, the rainforest comes alive with teamwork, laughter, and the joy of problem-solving.
