Zippity Zappity
One Monday morning Messy and Ruffles unanimously agreed they would rather go on an adventurous search for their lost magic cat Spotty than to boring school and fearful dentist Dr. DeCay. On zippity-zappity path through time and space, they come across a nerdy neighbor Smarty, a great connoisseur of magic potions, who is brewing his newest potion according to an ancient recipe. Smarty joins the two little witches after the unpredictable course of events and unforgettable "zippity-zappity" journey full of challenges and complexities that arise in the Ljubljana city streets begins. The world of magic is governed by different rules than the normal world: if you do not like Monday, you can easily jump into Tuesday, put a spell on an evil neighbor, shorten the stretched road and even kick out the crankiness. But even great witches can not avoid dentists forever, not even with magic.
