‘ Wonder Park’ animated adventure movie revolving around an amusement park where the imaginatio­n of a wildly creative girl named June comes alive, is now being shown in theatres. Directed by Dylan Brown in his directoria­l debut, the film is produced by Paramount Animation and Nickelodeo­n Movies, with Ilion Animation Studios handling animation.

June Bailey and her mother come up with the story of Wonderland, a magical amusement park run by a group of animals: Boomer, a big blue bear that greets guests; Greta, a wild boar; Gus and Cooper, beaver brothers; Steve, a porcupine who is in love with Greta; and the leader Peanut, a monkey that has the ability to create rides by listening to June’s mother’s voice. Over time, Mrs. Bailey starts to get sick and is sent away for recovery, June starts alienating from Wonderland, and burns the blueprints of the park in a fit of rage. Sometime later, Mr. Bailey sends June to math camp, after misinterpr­eting a note from her father as a cry for help, she uses her friend Banky to create a distractio­n on the bus to escape and return back home, instead, she finds a broken-down Wonderland in the woods.
