The friends accompanying Ursa during her journey are seal puppy Selma (“funny, easily distracted and kind-hearted”), walrus Ross (“slow, very wise and a bit lazy”), reindeer Reina (“very determined she loves to show off and stays positive”) and tiny Lemmy (“his small size doesn’t stop him from being very loud”).īaby’s First Crime Spree – director TBC (Ireland/UK) Even though Ursa is small, she always knows when something is wrong and somebody needs help,” he adds.
