Olive
is a girl who lives inside an old terrarium that has been long
forgotten.. she doesn't know that that is where she lives
exactly.. to her she just lives in the world. She lives a life
like anyone else.. she had a brother once but he went missing in
the forest a long time ago. She does have parents.. but they
don't listen very much.. so Olive spends a lot of her time
outside imagining amazing things and wishing for even more
amazing things. One day she met the bumble bee.. who may or may
not be a bee.. the bumble bee may just be some one she will meet
later on.. or someone she has known all her life... but the
important part is that the bumble bee tells her a secret that
lets her go find some of the things she has been dreaming about
all these
years. You see She was the only one who would be able to help
the Clock work wolf.. Who isn't bad.. but does tend to eat
people up and be terribly grumpy most of the time. he is SO
grumpy in fact that no one wants to live in the forest where he
lives.. no one except Toc Choi, who doesn't have anyone else
anyway, and the hide from the wolf game is something that helps
pass his days away.
Now.. everything is connected, but some
times the best way to get somewhere is directly through a door..
and there is a particular door in this terrarium that is owned
and operated by Gertrude the frog. Olive may just be able to
convince Gertrude that the door should always be open.. it may
be a good idea, and she may regret it... At any rate.. on the
other side of this door is where most of the people went when
the Wolf got a little too scary to stay around. The milk man
lives there, and so does The Pimento Family
who runs the Inn. The Milk Man knows everyone in the whole
world.. mostly because he has been delivering the milk around
there for as long as anyone can remember. He has always wanted
someone to help him... but no one ever seemed to want to take up
the route with him. Maybe he will find someone one day.. until then..
it is the Milk Man and the Milk Man alone who travels all over
the whole world delivering milk. The Pimento family really are
sweet people, but they are terribly afraid of the wolf.. they
were the first ones to move out of the forest and go live on the
other side of Gertrude's Door. They are SO scared in fact that
they have implemented a strict Nine PM curfew every 
night... and
the doors to the Inn are locked so no one can get out... or get
in. The mice aren't too scared of the Wolf however... Mr. and
Mrs. Mouse and the children live a life filled with fun and
adventure.. even if it is on a mousey scale..
One
of the frequent occupants of the Pimento Inn is the mysterious
U.F.O. Man, who is absolutely excited about the prospect of
aliens and space ships and life outside of the Terrarium as they
know it. He follows the teachings of Alan Landsburg and studies
all the different mysteries in their world... he has one wish..
to be taken in to a U.F.O. and go flying away with the
aliens.... but it is a little far fetched to hope for something
like that.
One
of the reasons the U.F.O. man stays at the Pimento Inn so often
is because it is located very close to the mysterious sighting
of two of the Terrarium's biggest mysteries.... the Sea
Monster.. and the Mermaid. The Sea Monster is said to live in
the Ocean that is right beyond the bridge to the other lands...
the U.F.O. man spends a lot of his time on his boat looking for
the sea monster... he spends almost as much time sleeping in
that boat as he does sleeping in his bed at the Pimento Inn!
That's okay though.. it is a good boat and he keeps it stocked
up with food and any thing else he needs... however, he has
still never seen the Sea Monster up close... perhaps he is using
the wrong bait? And he certainly has 
never ever ever seen the
mysterious Mermaid.. she is said to live in a secret lagoon, and
only the Monster knows where it is... She is beautiful,
and it is rumoured that she is also magic... and has the ability
to make almost anything as beautiful as she is. Even the most
nasty ugly things... she doesn't do much really... just a bit of
dusting.. and voila! guess what, it was pretty the whole time
anyway.. Someone else who is most certainly magic is
Butter-Sally the fairy... though she lives on the boarder of
Olive's r
eality and another one that no one has ever seen
before... she steps back and forth between them, giving people
hope and helping them find the keys to a more peaceful and
exciting life...
Anyway.. those
are some of the people in the Terrarium.. you will get to meet
all of them soon when you watch the movie. Thanks!
