The Bremen Town Musicians

The Bremen Town Musicians
a comical quest for home and harmony   

individually, they are nothing . . . together, they rock!



Thrown off their farms because they are too old to work, three animals form a singing group and set off for the big city to make it in show biz. The town of Bremen is holding a contest to find the official Bremen Town Musicians, and the animals are determined to show that they can still be of use. They don't sound so great individually, but when they combine their talents, watch out, Backstreet Boys! On their way to Bremen, the animals run into a nasty bunch of robbers (who are also set on winning the contest). While outsmarting the robbers, the animals discover that everyone has a special talent and that only by working together can they achieve their dreams.
