Gazoob, the land of the Giants. Evil inventor Ms Grimm wants world domination and it seems there is nothing her lovely daughter Grenthel and Geoff, the smallest giant in the world, can do to stop her.
Nowen, a peaceful but poor Kingdom. Jack and his mum Tina (tupperware consultant to the stars) struggle to pay the rent. To make matters worse, they have to get rid of their trusted cow, Daisy. When Grimm’s evil plan lands at their feet, what will Jack do to save the day?
