CHECK MATES
In an exciting worldwide youth chess contest, teams from Chicago, Thailand, and Peru gear up for a thrilling competition, cheered on by their eager coaches and adult chaperones. As the tournament heats up, the grown-ups start playing tricky games of their own, trying to outwit the other teams and win at any cost. But amidst the grown-ups' tricks, the competitors form unexpected friendships and learn about teamwork and fairness, even when things get tough. They must work together to show the adults that playing fair is the only way to preserve the integrity of the contest and let the team with the most skill win!
AN INTERSTELLAR MISSION
On a starship cruising at 350,000 feet in the universe, the small-handed gem miners of Navade dutifully prepare to start the job they do every day without fail, gem mining. While some Nevadians find great fulfillment in the task, others dream of more diverse careers. Before work begins, giant-handed intergalactic visitors from the planet Nuvu are discovered on board. These stow aways want to disrupt the natural order by mining alongside the Nevadians! The captains of the ship are thrown into confusion! Can the Nuvuans convince the captains that their talents and passion make them right for the new job? Can the Nevadians who don’t want to mine explore other options for their lives? Change is frightening, but they must pull through it together.
THE CARIBBEAN INVASION
Somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean sea, a bustling community of fish and sharks thrives until one day, fishermen from above drop lionfish from the Indian Ocean into the reef. These menacing hard rock predators realize they have no natural enemies here and chaos erupts as the ecosystem is disrupted. Determined to save their home, the native fish devise a daring plan to outsmart the invasive lionfish and keep their reef home in balance. The challenge only increases when a hurricane hits the reef and destroys their beautiful home. Facing insurmountable threats, the fish and sharks call on their magical mer-folk friends to assist them in restoring order and beauty to their cherished home.
