The Fixies: Top Secret

The Fixies are tiny creatures who live hidden inside household appliances, keeping machines running and quietly fixing whatever breaks. When a mishap of enormous proportions threatens to expose their existence to humans, the small helpers must act to protect their secret world. Their efforts involve a new invention that lets them travel along electrical wires between distant points, but a complex device malfunctions, changing the appearance and character of the good-natured Fixie Fire into a monster. A brave group of Fixies, a young boy and a laboratory professor work together to set things right.
