In this humorous, slapstick adventure tale, Jojo and his younger sister Avila are left alone after a car accident injures their mother on the way to grandma’s house. The two travelers must survive the treacherous journey alone in the woods with only Skittles and a pocketknife for supplies – encountering wolves, bear traps, cliffs, raging rivers and menacing hobos along the way (and they’re out of clean diapers). Husband and wife directing team Brian Schmidt and Ann-Marie Plastino deliver a memorable movie that will make the overprotective parents in the audience squirm in their seats, much to the delight of their children.
