A groovy musical for CATS of all ages!
Pete the Cat knows that life is one big adventure. So when the groovy blue cat meets the Biddle family, he gets everyone rocking—everyone except Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth!
But when Jimmy finds himself stuck on an art project during the last week of school, Pete proves to be the perfect friend. Together, they embark on a far-out musical adventure in search of inspiration, traveling all the way to Paris and back in a colorful VW bus. Along the way, Jimmy discovers the joy of creativity, and Pete learns a thing or two about friendship.
Filled with music, laughter, and Pete’s signature cool-cat charm, Pete the Cat is a heartwarming celebration of imagination, self-expression, and finding your own groove.
