What's this? Our hero, Ernesto finds a trampoline that shoots him up in the sky!

And as so it happens, he lands in the Kingdom of Imagination! Yeah!

Princess Coo-koo welcomed him and explained him how the Kingdom works : you picture something in your head and it becomes reality. For example, when Ernesto thiks of his favourite cuddly toy, it suddenly becomes a real life dinosaur!
