Synopsis
When Michelle is taken into the future, with
her cat Sarabe, she finds herself in a
land of confusion, greed, cloning and adventure.
She will make friends with a Medieval Good Knight,
a cloned Dust Bunny, a mutated Three-Legged
Frog, a misplaced Flying Unicorn
and a partly human/partly neurotic Turtle,
among other fantastic and true-to-life creatures. Together, they are trying
to save the last Dragon egg from the Mini
Queen of Everything and the Maxi Queen
of Everything and her faithful evil dog
Lulu. But doing so will require avoiding the ever menacing, but
clueless, Fire Knights 1, 2,
3 and 4 and
their thoughtful captain Kenshin; silly
people run around and worry him, but none more than
biogenetic Doctor Robert von Santo, creator
of life and allergic to cats!
Michelle's biggest obstacle ends up being not the rhyme-making Queen,
or the egocentric Dr. von Santo, but herself. She must first confront
her own demons, and learn the importance of biodiversity, and teamwork,
before she can help Octopus, Penguin,
Orangutan, Dung
Beetle and other animals avoid extinction.
Crossing the Bridge to Nowhere would take Michelle and her
new friends to a land where all animals live happy and in peace. But they
must bring the Dragon egg with them before it hatches. Will Michelle,
with
a little help from her friends, be
able to take the Dragon egg across the bridge on time? Does it really
matter if she's wrong or right? Where she belongs, she's right.
Soundtrack

Help, Money (That's What I Want), Octopus' Garden, Yesterday, All You
