Premise

The series centers on Poppy, a young neckerchief-wearing kitten heroine, leading her eccentric team of friends who are stuffed animals – Alma the bunny kit, Zuzu the Dalmatian puppy, an owl named Owl and Mo the mouse – who belong to a little girl named Lara. They walk upright, talk and go on many extraordinary adventures to faraway lands of wonder by any kind of transportation they need that matches her neckerchief, like a sailing ship, a train, an aeroplane, a hot-air balloon, a submarine, a rocket ship, a campervan, a horse-drawn carriage and their very own car. But they have to stay away from Egbert, a badger, who is rude and makes fun of them.
