They also see the Caspian Sea, Isphahan and many other exciting site. Maz Jobrani also does the voice of the 'annoying uncle', the Bazaari (where Babak learns to haggle!).

To top this all off, the produced worked with the hip Abjeez band to come up with a catchy, kid-friendly tune 'Bia Berim' which explores the children's ability to do whatever they put their mind to as long as they use their imagination.

Mixed Nutz - Persian Adventure is a great new story with with laughter for the whole family.
