‘Kruddy Grimm’ – becomes an avatar for her Cruddy, or unpleasant thoughts and feelings. Together; Angie, Shnoogy and Kruddy, join forces alongside her best friends Pandi Panda, Chippy Chipmunk, Timmy Tortoise and Rita Rabbit, to find and rescue a young friend, whose Kruddy has tempted him into biting off way more than he can chew!
