Thor

Join Thor as he battles with frost giants, goes fishing for sea serpents, and tries to figure out who has stolen his hammer. With the trickster god Loki tagging along on his quests, Thor will not only have to squeeze into a wedding dress but also test his strength against a giant's cat that's so big he can't reach its tummy even on his tip toes. Thor may be the god of thunder but that won't stop him from seeking trouble and adventure!
