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; s
illy 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, w
ith 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 includes performances by the children of the followiing Beatles' hits: Help, Money (That's What I Want), Octopus' Garden, Yesterday, All You Need Is Love, Here Comes the Sun, Nowhere Man and Imagine.
