Description

Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshipped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are treated like kings.

In Rome, the activities never end! Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theatre, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt?

A spin on Aesop's classic fable The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, Cleo and Cornelius is teeming with hungry hippos, toga-clad dogs, and dancing cat mummies, bringing new excitement to a timeless tale.
