Edgar & Ellen: Bad Seeds!

Synopsis:
The delightfully devious edgar and ellen plague the idyllic town of Nod's Limbs with their pranks in this hilarious adaptation of the popular book and cartoon series. Their reign of terror is threatened, however, with the arrival of renowned "etiquettist" Petunia Rymple, who wants to build a flower garden on their mansion grounds. With the town ready to sign away the deed to the twins' creaky old mansion, edgar and ellen must declare a prank war against the cheerful lady in pink and the stuck-up Knightleigh family next door to show everyone who really rules Nod's Limbs.

Einstein'S Brains

Synopsis:
IT'S ALIVe! Albert einstein's brain, that is. Sci-Fi geek and pizza delivery boy Otto must make the most important delivery of all time when the mad scientist Dr. Harvey Thomas gives Otto and his talking dog, Swamp Thing, the task of safely delivering einstein's brain to a college in Berkeley, where it will be properly studied. Sounds easy, right? Save for a few hilarious distractions (a musical group of preserved body parts, a horde of zombies, and an evil, even madder scientist) it should be a piece of cake! Can Otto and his dog make it to their destination in relatively one piece? Pun intended.

Skokie Detective Charter School, The

Synopsis:
at the Skokie Detective Charter School, all the students are detectives-in-training, learning firsthand how to follow the facts and find a logical solution. But these future super sleuths are about to encounter their biggest case yet when students start acting strangely, monsters are spotted in the hallway, and their teacher goes missing! These Tiny Private eyes reconstruct the day's events through four classic story-telling perspectives (film noir, young adult mystery, edwardian romance, and Spaghetti Western) to solve the mystery in this clever and fast-paced comedy.
