"The Reluctant Five"

The Reluctant Five is a small mini series about five friends who aren't accepted by anyone outside their own friend group. So in order to fix this problem in trying to make friends they built their own costumes depicting their favorite animals. They thought to themselves "Everyone likes animals, so if we dress up like animals people will definitely like us!" They will make so many friends this way! Unfortunately this wasn't the case and it just made them seem more weird and uncomfortable to be around. 

Did that upset you?

This mini series is based on the idea that so many people judge people by the way they look or appear. Don't be so quick to form a possible negative opinion about others for seeing them differently. Think of how the Reluctant Five feel.
