Willy and the Guardians of the Lake: Tales from the Lakeside - animation film
The green Verdies are the tiny, but brave guardians of the lakeside. The young Verdies only become guardians when their hair turns brown. Until then, however, life is boring. The youngsters with green hair are not allowed to fly on warblers, not allowed to row alone, and they're not allowed to ride wild frogs at the rodeo. Willy Whistle's big dream is to become a guardian, but his curiosity always gets him into trouble. However, the whole lake becomes at risk when the enemies of the lakeside, the Grimps and the swans, enter into alliance. The guardians are helpless, but Willy comes up with a daring plan in order to save his home and his trapped friend, Jeremiah Jump. Luckily, he is not alone, because Grandpa, the water snakes and the frogs also come to his aid.

Willy and the Guardians of the Lake: Tales from the Lakeside Winter Mission - animation film
As winter approaches the lake, a common threat rattles the Verdies and Grimps as Willy Whistle looks to seize his chance to become a guardian. Packed with plenty of humour and lots of lessons to be learned, we follow young Willy on his adventures as he does battle with the menacing Grimps, helped as always by his Verdie pals and dear old Grandpa. The Winter Mission is based on the Autumn and Winter adventures of Willy, including his fight with the water rats, his friendship with a Grimp girl, and finally the alliance between the former enemies, the Verdies and Grimps.
