Winter arrives and brings with it the winter ogre, who kidnaps the princess Molly Gingerbread. Meanwhile, upset that he does not resemble his adoptive human parents, Leon the bear runs away from home and embarks on an unexpected adventure that gives him the opportunity to rescue Molly. Excellent stop-motion animation pairs with storytelling full of twists, turns and humour to make Leon in Wintertime an engaging treat.
