The Ugly Duckling is a fable about being a little different. 

Spring has sprung and Mother Duck is delighted when her eggs begin to hatch. But when the last duckling emerges he looks nothing like his fluffy yellow siblings. Picked on for being clumsy, scruffy and different, the ugly duckling sets off on an epic journey to find the place where he truly belongs.

The Ugly Duckling is adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen.
