Daniel & the Brave Mountain
After a playground bully tells Daniel he doesn’t have any bravery, Daniel decides he’ll do whatever he must to find some. He packs his things and his friends join him for a journey to a faraway place called “Brave Mountain,” though he is warned that it is a long and dangerous road. Daniel and his friends encounter many unfriendly creatures who would stop them along the way, but they work together and use their special talents to overcome them. They are terrified at finding “Brave Mountain” is actually a volcano, and as they approach the top, Daniel has no choice but to face the last part of his journey alone. His final test is a bald eagle who is both powerful and determined to keep Daniel from the summit. Daniel doesn’t give in, and the eagle, with admiration, guides Daniel to the top and informs him that the bravery he seeks has been with him all along.
