Plot
15-year-old fox Max sets off for Saint-Hilare in search of his father, the famous troubadour Johnny Bigoude, who disappeared shortly before Max's birth. He is waylaid by Sam, a rascally fairground entertainer, and introduced to the delights of the amazing Fly Swatter Festival. When Max finally gets there, Saint-Hilaire turns out to be the private kingdom of Bzzz & Co., infamous manufacturers of flyswatters, run by the degenerate frog Rodolfo. Musical virtuoso Max makes a big impression, especially on the smart, lovely, resourceful mouse Felicie, who convinces Rodolfo to hire him.
