Film Summary
A young human boy named Zip finds a hidden door inside the hole and he crosses the passage and finds an weird world where had a group of imaginary friends.

Plot
The film begins with Zippi sailing around the world with his father, Captain Efraim, his pet horse, his pet monkey, Mr. Nilsson, and various members of the ship's crew. One night during a hurricane, the captain is washed over board into the sea and died, and Zippi is washed ashore onto Ville, the world full of anthropomorphic animals and imaginary friends. He makes friends with the two children across the street — Tomato and Anna, who are captivated by his free spirit and fun-loving attitude. They are taken to school (for the first time in his life) where he gets into trouble, despite winning the hearts of his classmates.

Zippi attracts the attention of the grumpy couple, Mr. and Mrs. Pluppet, who conspires to put him into foster care for money. When Mrs. Pluppet goes to speak with the local law enforcement of the need for the boy to be placed in a home for orphans, she lets certain details (her lack of adult supervision, living alone, having a large supply of gold coins kept out in the open, and most of all, leaving her door unlocked) be revealed to a pair of thieves already in jail. Mr. and Mrs. Pluppet decide to rob Zippi themselves once they break out of jail.

Zippi and his friends take part in many adventures and close-calls, winning over almost everyone, with the exception of Mr. Pluppet. Just when Mrs. Pluppet has had enough, Mr. Pluppet got into a breakdown and is about to drag Zippi straight to the children's home herself, Zippi's two uncles returns to take him back to their life on the desert. However, Zippi decides that he can't leave his new friends and sadly bids farewell to Ville.
