In order to initiate the spaceship to take the Green Green Grassland residents away from disaster, little goats start their journey of finding a snake tribe that has been missing for thousand years. It takes them a while to notice that their new friend Bieber is exactly the extinct snake. Luckily, tribes work together to solve the weather chaos despite their differences and save the Green Green Grassland.[1]

Trivia[]
Cultural references[]
- The entire premise of the film lifts heavily from the Biblical story of Noah, who built an ark so that he and all the animals could shelter from a flood.
- Bieber is carried away by a bird who is convinced he is the bear’s father and has been practicing kung fu too hard. Bieber screams that “This is a mistake! I’m not Kung Fu Panda!”, which refers to the Kung Fu Panda film series.
