Même pas peur! (in French only)

Show

11:45 a.m. everyday and 1:30 p.m. on weekends and public holidays.

Blandine, a sweet little pattypan squash, would just love to be as scary as her illustrious ancestors, the Halloween gourds. But to pull that off, she’ll have to face her own fears on a journey filled with humour and odd encounters!
