Synopsis

Open your mind, flick through the pages and the large fold-out spreads and let yourself be enchanted by the adventure of the boy, Axel, and his faithful companion, Mouse, who together with Uncle Globus, Admiral Giganto, Mate Olm and the rest of the windswept crew on the proud ship, The Catfish, set out to find five fabled treasures: the Sun Crystal Bottle, the Unicorn's Horn, the Moon Lily Flower, the Emerald Lizard and the Silver Heart.

Watch Axel make it past the fire people's islands, be amazed by the heads of the native people of the Xinga jungle who live under the treetops in their own upside-down world - and breathe a sigh of relief when the crew, with treasure chests abounding, heads full of stories and hearts full of experiences, finally make it home safe and sound.
