Pikwik Pack: The Movie: Just Believe is a movie based on Pikwik Pack.

Film Premise

change

Carter, does not feel relaxed in Relaxing Ridge. Meanwhile, the Pikwik Pack must get to Relaxing Ridge, which is higher than they’ve ever gone before(save “Above and Beyond”). Then, the team must go along the Towering River. Suki, Axel, and Tibor do not think the team has the will to sail up the river, but Hazel tries to teach them that you can do anything - so long if you believe in yourself, and Suki, Axel, and Tibor get the message and to Relaxing Ridge with the impossible - not a single obstacle. Meanwhile, an unnamed shark wants to clear the Towering River without a single obstacle, just like the Pikwik Pack, yet he keeps falling down to the bottom of the river, and also gets Hazel’s message, and the shark sings a song called You Are The Magic. He FINALLY makes it to Relaxing Ridge, making the delivery, reprising You Are The Magic after that, and ending the film. "You are the Magic" is composed by Inabakumori and performed by the shark in the movie.
