About this Event
Ben loves two things more than anything: cooking up amazing dishes and jamming with his band. But when he realises his love of food has made him the biggest kid in class, he decides it’s time for a change. With the help of his friends, his mum, and a few wild kitchen experiments, Ben sets out to get fit, impress Klára, and maybe win her heart. From sizzling pans to pounding drumbeats, every day is a new adventure. Living Large is a tasty, tuneful, and laugh-out-loud animated story about friendship, music, and finding the recipe for feeling great.
