Acclaimed nature photographers Carl Sams II and Jean Stoick -- authors of the photographic fantasy book Lost in the Woods -- bring their creation to the screen in the new film Lost in the Woods: The Movie. Sams and Stoick combine live-action footage of animals in their natural environments with still nature photographs from the original text to tell the story of an elderly box turtle named Shirley and a slightly befuddled raccoon named Fernando Hernandafandavez, and their efforts to know the origins and history of a small, vulnerable newborn fawn whom they find sleeping in the brush nearby. Laced with several original songs and memorable characters, Lost in the Woods is well-suited for children and families alike.
