SERIES LOGLINE
With big imaginations and a magical old cardboard box, sisters Ella & Lucy and brother Blaze go on amazing adventures all over the world and beyond.
Ella, Lucy and Blaze’s cardboard den is magical. It can transport them to faraway places, exploring the wonders of the world and beyond, much to the dismay of dastardly dolly, Dr. Dotty and her not-so-bright bear assistant Mr. Fluffy Pants, who aim to bring them back to earth with a crunch!
SERIES SYNOPSIS
Brother and sisters – Ella, Blaze and Lucy – discover facts about the world using their ‘Imagination Machine’, a large cardboard box they keep in their playroom.
When they enter this magical box, they are transported to worlds made of paper and card – hot air ballooning over Mount Everest, helicopter rides through the Cretaceous period, deepwater diving under the oceans – The Imagination Machine can take them anywhere in time and space.
On each exciting adventure, the young explorers discover amazing things about history and the natural world using their magical book which is full of incredible facts and information.
The only problem for our heroes is that they are constantly being pursued by the dastardly dolly ‘Dr Dotty’ and her lovable yet inept teddy bear sidekick, ‘Mr Fluffy Pants’, who pursue the children in their own wacky cardboard contraptions.
Over the course of the series, they will ride the rapids, swash their buckles in a search for treasure on the high seas, zoom through ancient Mexico and Egypt and soar over the heads of dinosaurs in a hot-air balloon.
