Slapdash Galaxy - a bunk puppets show for the whole family
Two brothers embark on an epic quest to find a new home planet. This is the tale of Sam and Junior: two brothers, who must flee their barren planet, and embark on an epic quest across the galaxy.

It’s a crazy shadow puppet universe, made from bits of rubbish.
