Plot

Every year before the rainy season, Briar would lead the animals to repair and reinforce the Gouxiongling dam, but the small animals were bored and procrastinated, which made Briar increasingly dissatisfied. One day, a heavy rain suddenly fell and the dam collapsed. Briar left his home in anger, but he was unexpectedly washed away by a mudslide. When he woke up, he found himself in a down-and-out circus. An accidental performance saved the day, so Briar was left behind and became a member of the circus. At the same time, the animals in the forest disappeared mysteriously one after another. Briar performed the circus in his own way. Although he had a conflict with a western lowland gorilla Hugo, the leader of the animals in the circus, the pleasure of success and becoming a big star made him gradually get used to the new life here, and gradually forget the forest and his friends in the forest. One day, the anxious Bramble finally found Briar and hoped that he would go home with him, but Briar refused. Then the gorilla Hugo resolved the accident of Briar and the small animals' performance, and also let Briar understand the difficulties of the gorilla. But at this time, the secrets behind the circus gradually revealed themselves, and Briar was faced with a dilemma: escape and continue his comfortable life as a star; or face it and become who he is again to fight back. After being accidentally rescued by Logger Vick, he was ready to reflect on himself, take responsibility, and become who he used to be again to fight back.

So on the stage of the grand carnival circus, Briar led the animals to stage a unique victory escape, running towards freedom
