Jaeger Clade and his son, Searcher are out exploring a way over the mountains, to see what is on the other side. No one has ever done that before. Searcher finds a plant full of energy, and decides to harvest it and go home. Jaeger is upset and continues his quest. Some 25 years later "Pando" the energy source is not working, and the Clades go on a quest to save it. Things are never quite as they appear, and surprises abound in the world beneath the surface. Also, the family has to come to terms with each other so they can complete their mission.
It is a fun movie, but anyone who has read pulps will find none of it surprising at all. I do really enjoy the way the "inner world" looks- it appears to be based on Dr. Seuss, to a degree. I'm really over the whole steampunk look, though. It is a good movie, so it is kinda sad it has made no money. The cast is good and the music fits the movie.
