It is Christmas Eve. Max is excited. Because he has wished for something very special – but only quietly – he did not dare to wish aloud. At last, it is time for the presents. Max is overjoyed.

And what he does experience, how he makes Kimba the lion his friend, or why he gets splashed soaking wet by Dicki the elephant, you can witness in the animated story of “Max and his wonderous present”. Do you already know what kind of present it is?
