'Dr Cadabra, an affable, eccentric magician, lives in outer space with his son, Abra, and their two pets - Stella, the star-cat and Zodiac, the space-dog. When all four are busy elsewhere, two really nasty villains, B.L. Z'Bub and Klaw, the Rat King, steal the Cosmic pipe. Can be viewed as conventional film but it is 3D if viewed through 3D glasses.'

The film is a loose version of the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

A book based on Alexander Stitt's animated film Grendel Grendel Grendel, itself based on American author John Gardner's novel Grendel.

'An intelligent, witty animation based on John Gardner's popular novel Grendel, which retells the Beowulf epic. Originally written in 600 AD, the story pits Beowulf, a southern Swedish hero against a terrible monster, Grendel. In this adaptation, as with the novel, the legend is retold from Grendel's viewpoint making his a sympathetic, philosophic monster plagued by greedy, warring, stupid creatures called men who invade his territory and his serenity.'
