What is the Show About?
The show follows the four members of the Imagination Movers band: Dave, Rich, Smitty, and Scott. They live and work in a cool place called the "Idea Warehouse." This warehouse has many special rooms, like a "Jungle Room" and a "Beach Room."
In each episode, the Movers help people with their problems. These problems are called "Idea Emergencies." The Movers use their creativity to find clever solutions. They get help from their friends too.
- Warehouse Mouse is a friendly mouse who lives in the walls.
- Nina is their cheerful neighbor. She works as a photographer and visits the Movers often. In Season 3, Nina even owns a place called the Idea Cafe.
- Knit Knots is Nina's uncle. He doesn't like things that are too "exciting."

- Scott has "Wobble Goggles." These goggles let him see things from different angles.
- Dave wears a special baseball cap. He can store all sorts of objects inside it.
- Smitty carries a special journal where he writes down ideas.
