"SONDRA" FEATURES A NEW TWIST ON A CLASSICAL STORY - AN INTERGALACTIC WIZARD OF OZ MEETS SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS IN A BLAZE OF ACTION AND ADVENTURE THAT WILL THRILL THE 5-10 AGE GROUP FROM START TO FINISH.

WE FOLLOW SONDRA, HER KID BROTHER BOFFO AND HER DOG RUBBISH, FROM THE DISCOVERY OF AN ACTUAL LIVING DINOSAUR IN THE LOCAL NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM AND HER JOURNEY THROUGH OUTER SPACE TO MARS. HER QUEST IS TO HELP THE DINOSAUR SAVE THE RED PLANET FROM DESTRUCTION, AND PROTECT THEM ALL FROM THE EVIL SCHEMES OF THE WICKED WIZARD DR. DEMON AND HIS STUPID MANSERVANT WHO HAVE DESIGNS ON THE MARTIAN DINOSAUR AND HIS FAMILY. ALONG THE WAY, SONDRA MAKES NEW FRIENDS AND LEARNS A VALUABLE LESSON IN THE TOLERANCE OF OTHERS DIFFERENT FROM HERSELF.

The songs of recording artist LAURICE have captured the romantic imagination of people all over the globe. After achieving some minor hits in England and Europe, LAURICE crashed onto the international chart scene with the dance hits “We Will Make Love,” “The Disco Spaceship” and “The Hotline.” The British born singer/composer/producer was voted Dance Music Artist of the year for two consecutive years in Canada, charted NO 1 and Top Five in many Latin American, Far East and Benelux countries.
