3-2-1 Start!

Have you ever dreamed of building a rocket in your backyard, putting on a spacesuit and flying into space? It's time to fulfill your childhood dream! Edwin is a scientist hamster who took up residence in a junkyard. In constructing further inventions, he tries to make friends with rats, who do not take him seriously, because Edwin - unlike them - lives dreams and science.

The hamster Edwin one day finds a large crater in front of his house, and inside it a damaged robot. He decides to fix it and thus finds out that it has fallen from a spaceship hovering above the Earth. Unfortunately, the ship leaves the next day, so Edwin and the robot have to hurry!

This is how Edwin's great adventure begins. Will he be able to deliver the robot to his friends in orbit in time? “3-2-1 START!” is an adventurous animated film about the courage, cleverness and wisdom required to fly into space and return to Earth. And also about making your big dreams come true. The Oscar role is played by Edwin Hamster, voiced by Boris Szyc. This short animation has won worldwide recognition.

Before the film, there is a live show hosted by the Planetarium presenters.

The film has an audio description in Polish.
