Each summer, twins Mia and Matt spend their vacation at the cottage, along a lake with their uncle Roland. The cottage -- really a small farm -- is where Uncle Roland trains animals for movies and TV shows. Last summer, he trained Alfred the Turkey for a movie. This year, Mia and Matt are in for a challenge -- to help teach a chorus of pigs to sing! Will Mia and Matt be able to teach Do, Re, Me, Fa, Sol, La and Ti to perform, or will the pigs live up to their stubborn nature?
