Plot summary
Bellybutton's peaceful cartoon animal-populated world is threatened when Gruber, the supreme ruler of a bear-resembling extraterrestrial life form race known as the "Grizzles", comes over unannounced to devour every rabbit on the planet with assistance from not just the same bear who previously tried to eat Jellybean, but from a full population of other innocent animals converted to an army of mutant, mind-controlled predators.

The only hope that remains: Bellybutton himself.

Development

Cabhan was concerned about the idea of bringing his series to the big screen.
