[3][4] An international co-production between the Estonian Nukufilm, Irish Telegael, Belgian Grid VFX and British Calon, the film had its world premiere at the Animafest Zagreb in Croatia on 5 June 2018,[3] before being released in Estonian cinemas on 21 March 2019.

Ten-year-old Morten lives with his reluctant, mean-spirited guardian, Anna, as his father, Captain Viks, is away at sea.

One day, Morten has a chance meeting with the inept magician Senór Cucaracha, and is accidentally magically shrunken down to the size of an insect and trapped aboard the deck of his own toy ship, alongside a wicked Spider Queen and Scorpion Pirate.
