The Stellars: Mission Green

September 15 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Imani, Aki, and John are three friends from an alien solar system. While on a space exploration mission, something routine for their tribe, they distractedly neglect their onboard “chores,” leading their ship to crash on an unknown planet – Earth. The accident damages the life-support system that sustains the cherished forest they keep onboard, which gives them their vital Yumi-Plumi fruits. However, forests in their society are usually taken care of by robots.

With no knowledge of plant care or any means of contacting their elders, they are fortunate to be able to turn to the planetarium audience for help. All hope now rests on the Earth children, who help the Stellars discover what plants need to survive and to rescue their Yumi Plumi forest. There is a race against time – will the children be able to figure out the successive elements needed to nourish the plants?

Of course, they will, as we’ve prepared subtle clues, ensuring that everyone will be winners. However, to make sure it won’t be too easy, young viewers will have to travel together with our heroes to visit an ancient-growth forest on Earth, to search among the trees there, teeming with life. They will have to help launch the scout ship, navigate through space, locate the right spot on Earth – and then escape from an angry bear!

Watch the trailer here!
