Production notes

Imagine a world inhabited by elephantine squids that thunder through the forest on their eight massive legs, rabbit-sized snails that don't slither but hop, and wasps so ferocious they can snag a bird in mid-flight. Now imagine this world existing right outside your front door. It's not impossible. This could very well be planet Earth millions of years from now.

For a few adventurous kids, this imaginary world is now a reality. Thanks to C.G., an inhabitant from the seventh solar system, Ethan, Emily and Luis are propelled into the future to solve mysteries behind Earth's evolution while trying to survive extreme climates and hungry creatures. The young travelers rely on C.G.'s gadgets and their keen observations to understand how the animals evolved from present day Earth to its future form; all the while dodging a variety of creatures from 5, 100 or 200 million years into Earth's future.
