Richard the Stork and the Mystery of the Great Jewel

Richard is a small sparrow raised by a loving stork family, spending winter by the vast Great Lake in Northern Africa. When he realizes he won’t be the one to lead the migration back north, he sets off alone in search of purpose and a place to belong. His solo journey quickly turns into a daring quest when he crosses paths with Samia and her sparrow flock.

Samia’s group is being held captive by sinister marabous who answer to the arrogant peacock Zamano, and their only hope lies in an ancient riddle and the fabled Great Jewel. As Richard teams up with Samia and other unlikely allies, they must rely on cleverness, courage, and a blend of stork and sparrow — “spork” — skills to outwit their enemies and free the flock. The adventure is filled with puzzles, narrow escapes, and moments that test loyalty and bravery.

Heartfelt and spirited, the film blends humor with tense action and warm messages about identity, teamwork, and trust. Bright animation, memorable characters, and a brisk pace make it a family-friendly journey that celebrates finding your place in the world and the strength that comes from standing together.
