The Cosmic Highway is a short-animated piece following the magical adventure of a little boy, Koda, and his favourite soft-toy, Teddy. As Koda reads his favourite picture book one night, he falls asleep and is woken by a staircase made out of stars shining in his room. He takes Teddy the teddy bear and travels onto The Cosmic Highway, taking him to a magical world known as Lahal. Playing a homage to childhood, we see the special connection between Koda and Teddy grow on their last adventure together before they say goodbye and Koda starts the inevitable process of growing up.
