The Biggest Ice Cream Cone

No matter who you are, even if you are not a part of the norm, you can still achieve your goals and dreams if you continue to persevere in life. You know we're all different, we have our own unique qualities, and in life must face many challenges. But, if we do not lose hope, and fight through our struggles, we can succeed. The Biggest Ice Cream Cone follows a group of friends as they strike out in search of their perfect match. Each ice cream cone is unique and hopes to be selected by a kid who loves their flavor the most above all others. Big Dipper has many flavors, but he's so big, he fears he'll never find a child large enough to want him for their very own. He grows lonely and forlorn as each of his friends is chosen on their way to the fair. He forges ahead to the fair where maybe something magical will happen.
