“…they didn’t make history, they stole it!”

FamilyFantasyScience FictionAdventureComedy

Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

VIBE

This is a wildly imaginative, anarchic journey through history and fantasy. It's a whimsical, satirical romp that feels like a child's most vivid dream, filled with eccentric characters and a sense of boundless possibility. A truly unique, propulsive adventure that delights in its own absurdity.
