Las mascotas maravilla

A lonely young girl finds herself in possession of a magical amulet that allows her to communicate with animals. When her parents announce they're moving to a new town, she uses the amulet to enlist the help of a diverse group of animals to try and stop the move. Her adventure involves a group of animal activists and a villain who wants the amulet for himself.
