Synopsis
Equally entertaining for both kids and parents alike, UNSTABLE FABLES: 3 PIGS AND A BABY takes on a whole new twist as a cunning team of special ops wolves hatch an ingenious plan to infiltrate the intrepid pigs’ impenetrable house of bricks. When the unassuming pigs (Garrett, Cryer
and Zahn) find a tiny wolf cub on their doorstep, they do what any responsible pig would do – take him in and raise him as one of their own. It’s one big happy family as Lucky (McCartney) enters his teens not knowing his history or his role as a sleeper cell in the wolves’ devious plan. Comedy ensues when Lucky meets and bonds with the wolf gang. Faced with a huge decision, Lucky must choose between the madcap lives of his new wolf friends or the loving pig family that raised him.
