Plot

When Dot accidentally eats a magic root and shrinks to the size of an insect, she is suddenly alone in a world of giant creatures and overwhelming bushland, but her previous good deed, rescuing a helpless mosquito and dragonfly from the peril of a spider's web, guarantees her two reliable and helpful friends. With the aid of Keeto the mosquito, Butterwalk the caterpillar and a surprise visit from an old friend, Dot sets out on a grand adventure to discover a way to return to her original size.
