Plot
Once a friendly family of Robinsons in the kneaded town of Friendville, on one of the free territories, are building a two-story house for themselves, but they cannot even suspect that while they were moving to a new house they were chased all the way by kind and funny monsters who were not at all going to eat the family and were looking for a new home. The monsters decided to settle in the backyard in secret from the family. And now the backyard of the Robinson family is a new home for the monsters.
