It is, further, a joint production by Japan and China for broadcast in both countries.Animals gather from across the world because the issues are too important to be left to human beings. The clashes between their diverse standpoints and opinions encourage viewers to think about environmental issues themselves. This rare cartoon series on environmental themes does not rush to conclusions but seeks instead to provide educational entertainment by grasping the essential issues and showing how cross-cultural understanding and the toleration of diversity depend on good communication.
