The Farther Adventure - Over the Rainbow [S2:E2]
The four friends travel to a new place over the rainbow and through an electrical storm. Finding Wonderland to be beautiful beyond belief, they soon realize that they will eventually need to find their way back home. But how? As they climb out of the balloon, Bear King mistakenly deflates it and it disappears in a ‘poof’ of pink. Initially, Bobo Chico is very excited by this magical place where fountains bubble with sparkling, flavored water and bushes sport ice cream sandwiches. Loar and Roen marvel at trees with tasty cracker-like leaves and chocolate chip cookies that hang like fruit. But after their initial delight, Bobo Chico becomes very worried that they may never find their way home. To ‘see what he could see,’ Bear King hiked up a mountain, where he is startled to meet the mystical magical man, Slogadu.
