Elliot, Leslie, and the DENKi-3000 Creature Department receive an urgent message asking for help from their friend Jean-Remy's missing sister: their old enemies, the Ghorks, have captured the creature employees of Heppleworth's Food Factory in a plot to turn humans into slaves. Absurd inventions, odd creatures, and a wacky food festival enhance the endearing misfit story. Illustrations by visual effects studio Framestore are included.
