Little Detectives (2019)
Engaging and thrilling stories with a detective plot. All cases concern the smuggling and trafficking of exotic animals, which are handled by a group of "child detectives" - with occasional and rather subtle adult help. The group of kids is made up of interesting personalities - boys and girls with diverse interests but with a common effort to provide the animals with just protection. Although the kids use all available modern means for their detective work, they are always based on natural childhood thinking learned through watching some TV series.
