Hoofs on skates

Synopsis

On a bright winter's day, in the land of fluffy hills and frosted trees Piglet and his best friend Cow are having fun ice-skating on a lake. Here's another fantastic flip performed by Piglet when suddenly a strange 'boom!' comes out of nowhere! Scared to death they run off quickly but Cow loses a skate so they must go back where a monstrous Fish is staring at them from underneath. However, Piglet notices that its eyes are rather sad not scary: they are asking for help! Vigorously trying out all means of upside down communication, they finally get it. Fish need to breath, they are dying out of oxygen! A way to drill a hole is finally found but what a shame, Cow is now stuck in it, upside down! A mysterious new world she sees underwater when suddenly the big Fish opens its mouth as if ready to eat poor Cow and ...ah! The Fish actually saves her: with a massive stream of water it spouts Cow back to the air. Two friends hug each other, happy and thankful as all the fish around them too - breathing freely.
