The Adentures of Peabody: Boy Genius

In a kingdom where the King declares war on numbers, communicates with pineapples, and maps military strategies on breakfast cereals, young Peabody might be the only sane person left—though that's not saying much when you live in a treehouse held together by duct tape and stubbornness, fifty feet above where the ground used to be before your grandmother accidentally knitted it into a cushion. When the Princess vanishes and the palace descends into weaponised chaos involving backwards bagpipe music, a philosophising baked bean drowning in custard, and a teddy bear whose broken watch hums Andrew Lloyd Webber as a form of prophecy, Peabody is summoned to solve the mystery using his greatest talent: the ability to listen without screaming about root vegetables. What he discovers is far more dangerous than any kidnapping—a clever girl who's had quite enough of the madness, a machine that translates nonsense into sense, and the revolutionary idea that perhaps, just perhaps, a kingdom shouldn't be run like an elaborate joke that's forgotten its punchline.

What follows is a journey from destructive heat to careful cooling, and the discovery that sometimes the answer isn't releasing the pressure, it's learning to turn down the flame.
