Magali is going to go further from home than she's ever been before. She's going to cross the French border into Italy to compete in a rock-climbing event!

The problem is: marmots don't rock climb. Neither do boar, deer, foxes, weasels, hare, and hedgehogs, and that isn't stopping them.

But, how exactly will they climb?

Bruno The Italian Stag explains it well. 'It's Italy. There are no rules. You get up the rock any way you can.'

Magali and her friends (Mishka, Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé and Chamois Luc) need to come up with a genius plan.

So, what is their plan? They choose Magali to scale the wall and win the competition for the team. But, why her? She's the fattest one out of them!

Dude, she's is not too sure about this plan!
