After great hardship they rescue ancient heroes’ puppets that are facing crisis due to a conspiracy by modern robot toys’.

Tradition and modernity, heroes and villains are not opponents, but harmonize in the film. The puppet shows begin with rap and dance, and actual images and animation are intertwined.
