Little Charlie turns five tomorrow! Mom is baking his favorite—chocolate carrot cake—and he knows Dad has already picked out the perfect present. On the morning of Charlie’s birthday, his baby sister Clara is running a temperature and ruins Charlie’s plans for a perfect day of fun at the lake. While Mom and Dad rush Clara to the doctor, Charlie mopes next door at Monica’s house before deciding to pack his wagon and head to his grandmother’s house. To get there, he and Monica embark on a daring adventure deep in the forest where they befriend countless woodland creatures, including snails, frogs, butterflies, and birds. But they must learn to work together to dodge sly foxes and startling thunderstorms for a safe journey. Based on the book series Karlchen by Rotraut Susanne Berner, BEST BIRTHDAY EVER is an animated gift that’s fun for all ages. Older siblings will relate to the joys and frustrations of sharing the spotlight with the babies of the family. —A.B.
