The central character in “Wonder Park” is an 8-year-old girl who nearly destroys her neighborhood with a homemade roller coaster and whose mother is very ill.

This Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies production seeks to deliver an inspirational message about the power of imagination.

A cast of well-known performers has been recruited* to provide the voices — the little girl’s parents are played by Jennifer Garner and Matthew Broderick. The animal characters are given life by more distinctive* voices including Kenan Thompson and Ken Jeong.

The little girl, June, is voiced by Brianna Denski. The young actress reportedly beat out 1,500 others for the role. A whiz* at math, June has created an imaginary theme park, dubbed Wonderland, populated by characters inspired by her stuffed animals. They include chimpanzee impresario* Peanut (Norbert Leo Butz); Boomer (Ken Hudson Campbell), a bear who welcomes visitors; Steve (John Oliver), a porcupine* in charge of park safety; Greta (Mila Kunis), the boar on whom Steve has a helpless crush; and Cooper (Jeong) and Gus (Thompson), the beavers who handle maintenance*.

After June’s mom is forced to leave home to seek treatment, June bitterly burns the blueprints for Wonderland and heads off to math camp. But she runs away almost immediately, and while wandering in the woods comes upon a real-life version of her imaginary theme park.

But all is not well in Wonderland. It seems that Peanut has gone missing and a mysterious darkness has descended on the park, which has also been invaded by a group of “chimpanzombies.” June decides to save the park.

“Wonder Park,” which has already been announced as a Nickelodeon animated series premiering later this year, curiously doesn’t have a directorial credit. The film didn’t direct itself, of course, but to find out why no one is listed, you’ll just have to do a little research.(SD-Agencies)
