GEORGE TOWN: Teary-eyed Muhammad Farish Haikal Mohd Hafiq, seven, had a surprise when the first schoolteachers he met turned out to be “cartoon characters”.

The Year One pupil at SK Seri Relau in Bayan Lepas was consoled by Snow White, a big lion and even Anna of Arendelle from the animated movie Frozen.
