Blaming it on herself for a row she had with her mother, Helena "escapes" into dreamland. Her creative and artistic mind keeps her busy from day to day until her mother falls ill and has to go to the hospital. The story is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Helena who works for a circus. But what better alchemical mix to straight-up fantasy can we have than Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, and the Henson Company? One thing Henson could do with his puppets that many others never really aspired to do was create fantasy the likes that weren't really done again, and his legacy lives on, using the enriching and creative mind of Gaiman, the celebrated British fantasy writer and comic book artist whose vivid imagination was so perfectly translated into film using practically every chemical for fantasy possible: CGI, animation, painting, set design, split-screen, superimposition, saturated colors, I even think there were moments of stop-motion animation. For every Lord of the Rings, we have ten attempts at The Matrix. However, the fantasy (NOT SCI FI) genre is severely underrepresented in it. The medium of film is-like the medium of writing or other celebrated media-practically limitless in potential for fantastic creations.
