Synopsis: Two donkeys who have loved each other for many years have a silly argument. They each storm off to find someone smarter and better. Finally, after they have met a ridiculously small goat, a too-squishy hippo and an over-clingy ostrich, a lone camel in the desert helps the two donkeys realise that they really do belong together.
