The once green rolling hills have turned brown and the lakes and streams have become polluted! Traveling across the country are Kato and his human parents known as Team Wlody. They notice DARK MURKY MUCK lurking in the sky over Pleasantville, so they stop to see what's causing it. What they find can happen anywhere. They set about to help their new friends Jake and Karen restore health and vitality to the people of the town, clean the environment, and turn the greedy owner of a processed food company, into an enlightened and generous man!
