Turtle World

  1. Overview
  2. Fact Sheet

In the emptiness of space, a huge sea turtle (the size of a planet) slowly comes into view at the top of the frame. The turtle exhales, and an atmosphere fills the frame. Lightning flashes in the clouds, and rain falls. Trees sprout and grow into mighty forests on the turtle's mountainous back.
The turtle swims lazily across the sky, turning its head back to graze on the forest on its shell.
