Swapped pairs natural sworn enemies — Ollie the Pookoo and Ivy the Javan — in an accidental body-swap that forces both to navigate the Valley in each other's forms. Physical comedy sharpens into something more earnest as cooperation becomes the only way to survive. The film promises animated adventure where mismatched characters discover that the fastest route back to themselves runs straight through understanding each other, all while a threat larger than their rivalry builds around them.
