A bunch of [[StarfishAliens tiny, shiny, egg-shaped aliens]] called Spacers arrive at the jungle looking for a missing MacGuffin called a magic pearl, all while a poacher chick and her bumbling gorilla sidekick are out to catch as many animals as they can while looking for the Spacers and their pearls so they can please their boss, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mr. Stealmore]], and get filthy rich. So David, along with his beagle Pips and a stray eagle chick David calls Sandy, set out to free the animals of the jungle, help the aliens find their pearls before Stealmore can and save the jungle from being destroyed.

Sounds interesting, right? Sadly, it's not. The characters are pretty uninteresting and the story so full of {{Plot Hole}}s, OffModel moments, and just plain nonsense that the actual plot seems to fade behind it, showing off such wonderful things such as Pink Elephants that fly and baby bird bungholes.
