The Splendiferous Spillage of the Cartoon Wizard and the Color Witch...

A cantankerous wizard has drawn his black and white kingdom “to perfection” through the use of his magic pens. Suddenly, his world gets messy as drips, drops and sprinkles of color from a strange color cloud are tossed all over his pristine black and white creation. Outraged at this uninvited and unwanted addition to his ‘perfect’ world, the Cartoon Wizard scribbles up buckets and bowls and scurries about trying to catch the disruptive drips to rid his world of this nuisance.

As he looks closer into the hovering cloud he discovers it contains a flamboyant Color Witch who convinces the stubborn ‘ol wizard that as they combine their talents new worlds of color, light and line open up for them.

The Trolls in the Tree

After the Witch and the Wizard realize that each bucket of color contains a story, they tip over another one.

Three of the orneriest trolls emerge and complain of their woes and misfortune. Being disliked by everyone and everything just isn’t very fun. They come to the conclusion that they don’t want to be trolls anymore. But how are they to do that?

With the help of 'troll fairy guides', the trolls 'meet a stately tree that at first doesn't like them much either.

The meeting of the two energies is a dance between shadow and light. Both the earthy,dark trolls and the light and airy tree finally realize this and their willingness to let go and help the other turns out to benefit both.
