Plot

Each episode unfolds around a project, such as a movie, event, or public relations activity that the client is assigned by an advertising agency. Each episode depicts the production of the idea, including pseudo-rational choices and decisions that reduce it to a travesty. The absurdity is heightened by the fact that the employees are portrayed by actors in animal costumes. Throughout the series, stories develop relationships between various characters: a romantic relationship between Bear and Chicken, Lion's ambition to climb the ranks, a secret romance between Giraffe and Rat, a classic relationship between Sheep and Shepherd, and Dog's attachment to guarding Sheep. In addition, the series shows the envy among creative professionals, who turn out to be "typical of an office full of stuffed animals."
