What's in a Tail? - Everybody seems enamored with their tails today, except for Max, who doesn't think his tail is so special. Mama shows the kids (through her movies) that there are a lot of different "tails to tell" in the animal kingdom. Every tail, however, is unique and special - just like the animal it's attached to.
