Africa's
first animated feature and the world's first "Junkmation" movie
is a heartwarming tale of adventure and hope, featuring three orphans and
their escape from the underground city where they are the slaves of a
cruel emperor. In their search for the fabled prince Ariel and his
fabulous Sky Kingdom, they are accompanied by many friendly creatures,
such as Gugu the bird and Telly, a talking television set, who guide them
through these new places. The characters and sets in this film have been
made exclusively from junk, giving birth to the world's newest animation
style.
