Although chubby and gray, these funny little animals will embark on the adventure of forming their own theater and will remind us of that artist that we all carry inside.
Still don't know the Poly family? Beneath a large cabaret theater lived a huge family of roly-polies. The cabaret was open at night, and it welcomed the greatest stars of the moment, who got together to sing and dance to the rhythm of the music. But of course, with that noise, no one could sleep! So the Poly family decided to sleep during the day, and at night they put on their best evening gowns and joined the party. Undoubtedly, these little creatures were real artists. That is why they decided to put on their own show in an abandoned theatre box. Each member of the family had a special talent: one sang like angels, another preferred to dance and create the best choreographies... They all had their role in the show. One day, a family member who lived abroad made a proposal that they could not refuse... to set up a traveling theater!
Aunque gorditos y grises, estos graciosos animalitos se lanzaran a la aventura y formarán su propio teatro, recordándonos ese artista que todos llevamos dentro.
Todavía no conocéis a la familia Bola? Debajo de un gran teatro de cabaret vivía una familia enorme de bichitos bola. El cabaret abría por las noches, y acogía a todas las estrellas del momento, que se juntaban para cantar y bailar al ritmo de la música. Pero claro, con ese estruendo no había quién pegara ojo! Así que la familia Bola decidió dormir durante el día, y por la noche se ponían sus mejores trajes de gala y se unían a la fiesta. Sin duda, estos animalitos tenían alma de artista. Tras encontrar un palco abandonado en el teatro, decidieron montar su propio espectáculo. Cada miembro de la familia tenía un talento especial: uno cantaba como los ángeles, otro prefería bailar y crear las mejores coreografías... Todos tenían su papel.
Un día, un miembro de la familia que vivía en el extranjero les hizo una propuesta que no pudieron rechazar... montar un teatro ambulante!
