The King's Birthday

As the Kingdom prepares for the King’s monumental 200th birthday, unsettling winds blow: the Clowns are mounting a coup, the Jollies are frightened, and even the Giants have been deceived. The King, desperate for a solution, consults The Book and learns of a time when the kingdom was in lands far beyond the mountains. Accompanied by his trusted counsellor Digweed, he sets out on a perilous journey to find this fabled land, only to get lost. Meanwhile, Orchid, freshly returned from an unexpected trip to India, discovers that her friend Freddy the Clown has endured a terrible ordeal. Joining forces with Colin the Cat – known as the finder of lost things – Orchid embarks on a daring quest. Can they locate the lost King and thwart the menacing Clowns? As time runs out, it’s up to Orchid, Colin, and Freddy to save the Kingdom and ensure a joyous 200th birthday celebration for the King.
