Synopsis

Discovery City is preparing for the annual Creativity Carnival, and everyone is busy. During the preparations, our friends come to understand what creativity is really about: realizing good ideas, finding new ways of doing things, using one's imagination- and having fun! Maggie discovers that she doesn't need the numbers on a dot-to-dot drawing, and Eddie finds out he doesn't mind others interfering with his work, as long as he doesn't forget his original ideas. Sarah Lynn starts finding musical potential everywhere, even in old junk, and Sonya Lee finds that her blown-away flower decorations can be replaced by thousands of butterflies! Lastly, Michael discovers that materials and tools are not the most important thing to achieve a good result. The most important thing is being creative!
