Spoilers ahead
A white koala named Johnny Rob Schneider is teased about his color, which pushes him to seek a new path with a traveling circus run by a shy yet ambitious duo: Hamish Bret McKenzie, a Tasmanian Devil with big dreams, and Higgens (and Bull) Frank Welker, a quick-witted monkey photographer. Johnny longs to be part of the main acts in the big tent, not merely a sideshow curiosity, and he watches the circus’s top act, the daring The Wild Bushman Eric Lopez, draw crowds away from the freak show. When the moment comes, Johnny slips into the act by accident and is saved by The Wild Bushman, a turn that sets him on a path toward real recognition.
