PLOT:

For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth.
But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

PETE THE CAT – A super zen rocking cat who lives in a VW Bus. He goes with the flow.
JIMMY BIDDLE – A very put-together second grader. He likes to prepare and tends to overthink things.
OLIVE BIDDLE – His rambunctious sister. Pre-K. She just loves everyone and everything.
MOM – Jimmy’s nervous mom. Secretly a rock star.
DAD – Jimmy’s nervous dad. Secretly a rock star.
