Regards to the man in the moon

«What´s up, Louie? Why so sad?

«Come on, you can tell me.
I’m your Pop now…»

Louie’s unhappy because the other kids call his father «the junkman.» But his father knows that it’s not just junk: «All a person needs is some imagination! And a little of that stuff can take you right out of this world!»
So Louie builds the Imagination I, a spaceship fueled entirely by imagination—and blasts off into an adventure that will dazzle children and adults alike.
«The phantasmagoric outer-space collages… make this a visual extravaganza akin to the small-screen and large-screen space spectaculars.»
