Synopsis
A fantastic journey through one boy's imagination.

Plot
several weeks after a move, school changes, etc.; but above all: 2 days after school for the child, after things went badly at first (supposedly for him) and after some misunderstandings with his parents and raising their voices among each other, the child goes to the park, trying to get away from the problems and from his parents who scolded him (but his parents later repented), he went to the park to be alone, with his drawings to contemplate how well they fit him, crayons, colors, notebook and the rest to to be able to vent and forget about your problems. It was already night and the boy saw a big shooting star (what a coincidence haha), and he closed his eyes and made a wish while crying, wishing with all his heart that he wanted to get away from his problems and be able to live in his world with his drawings that ah done and created.

After 5 minutes he manages to see a species of green creature of his size with a pig-like animal nose. He approached to see what it was, but from a hole or hole in the ground (just like a rabbit) the green creatures already mentioned come out and take the child to the hole or hole and leave their things, notebooks, etc. thrown to the ground while they go and cover the hole so as not to leave evidence (but of course without taking into account their things that they left lying around).

When his parents saw that their son had not arrived, they decided to search desperately for him, and when they saw that they could not find him, the next day they put up advertisements and signs saying that they were looking for such a child and that they missed him. The father was very frustrated and regretful for having raised his voice at night, he felt guilty about everything, but the mother found his drawings and other things on the ground and they also saw a covered hole. The parents, upon seeing this, decided to dig the hole alone. to see if their son was not there and to not come to an ugly conclusion before, but they see something strange and gelatinous in the shape of a squid, they touch it and that thing reacts in a calming way and without anyone noticing, they went too subtracted into the hole, along with his son's drawings.

They fall into a kind of forest but in the distance they see a castle and next to it, an airship, a spaceship, and some cages with prisoners inside. The parents, upon seeing that, did not want to think ugly and would decide to move forward however they could, but they were stopped. A friendly hairy worm appears in the form of a transport that was transporting other kinds of people and creatures. At first they were afraid, they were very afraid to get on, but in order to get out of there with their son they had no other choice and decided to risk getting on and Go in search of your son.

While a child was in a cage, he sees that he was being transported to an elegant place but with a funereal and terrifying touch, before him the evil doctor named I don't know appears. His plan was simple, now that he wanted his drawing to exist and this world to exist, his plan was simple, it was to conquer the real world where he was to make his people suffer and be taken seriously. Once that is clear, they throw him into a dungeon so that he can suffer in the solitude that he wanted so much and, above all, get away from his problems.

Although various events happened to the popes, as they passed through every place, landscape, people and creatures of anything they could imagine, for a moment they were cornered by tiny green creatures, but they were saved by a kind of cat that was a woman and he had weapons. and their laser beam called wis kat, and an agile and strong knight as they tell from beginning to end about their things and about their son, they decide to help them anyway, since they were also going to rescue a captain and his companion. some crazy crocodiles.

The boy, tired of being in the dungeon, tries to get out until the green creature named simply: a arrives (since they are all called with a single letter of the alphabet in order and repeated), he decides to help him because he was already tired and angry from always receiving beatings from his classmates, mistreatment, bullying and nicknames, he gives him a magic scepter in the shape of a pencil (how ironic) and he decides to appear a key and make a magic door next to where the child was and they escape but before they were seen and the creatures They warn and warn to catch them but they escape.

after several more events, fights, and defeating a lava dinosaur, etc.; Kat, the parents, the knight and the pirate go in search of their son but thanks to heaven (and not for script convenience haha), they manage to find their son with a green dwarf but one of the good ones, but in that the villain does not He leaves his lair and goes out into the real world along with an army of creatures and dwarves that are difficult to describe, designed by I don't know, together with the gelatinous squid already mentioned above, the family and the others decide to go out anyway and save the world and its world. planet.

Meanwhile, in the real world, people are attacked, tortured with creatures and people imagining their worst nightmares, the big bad doesn't make them come true even more, but then the good guys arrive, including the friendly giant green worm. that begins to run over the bad guys, Kat, the knight and the pirate attack and defend the people, but they also ask them to draw, create or imagine their heroes that come to mind and thus begin the robots, superheroes, even meals. arrive. speakers who IMAGINE the population to continue attacking now with the bad guys; While the boy and his parents chase the evil man, I don't know how to stop him.

I don't know the evil one, he traps people to disappear them or even worse eat them, the children appear in front of him while their parents knock down the giant squid with things for him to cook and to scare him away too, the evil one attacks him by throwing stakes first, making his big hand to crush it, or attacking with laser beams, but it was the boy's turn first by randomly launching any attack with his magic scepter, but when it didn't work at first, he decided to take it far away from the earth, but of course having a device ready that make him breathe well outside the planet and the one already tired of the child's antics or nonsense was going to lash him in the sun to burn. but when the boy told him that he was NOT a good villain and that he did not take him seriously and also that he did not have any real explanation for destroying the planet, that weakened him a little by telling him his truths, and weakening him even more just by throwing things at him that he He likes them and he dislikes them, and finally he throws a lightning bolt made with love at him (how cheesy for him haha), and he approaches more quickly and finally, as if they were playing tag or frozen, he calls him frozen and he freezes. and the great one goes towards the sun, I don't know, to burn to death haha.

When the villain is defeated, what he created disappears, including his minions, returning everything to normal, the people's creations, what they imagined, return to their world and the others too, Kat and the knight say goodbye to the boy wishing him the best. better better and take care of his loved ones, Wis Kat kisses the boy on the forehead wishing him good wishes (even in love ha) everyone leaves and the green dwarf A gives him a painting of him with his friends he met down in the world, and the hole where they fit disappeared but even so everyone already knew that there was another world hidden beneath them.

The child's parents apologize for scolding him and that it would never happen, the child only apologized but also said that he deserved what happened to him at the beginning and that they should not feel bad, the whole family hugs each other and everyone returns to their homes. Years later, the child, now a young adult, now writes books with illustrations for children and young people so that they can entertain themselves and enjoy good reading and that with every book he takes out, there is always a long phrase or slogan that says: never be ashamed to write or draw whatever comes to mind, line your mind; The only limit is your imagination or what you propose, CAN YOU IMAGINE? (ha ha).
