Regalbop

Regalbop is not your average young man. With his avocado-like skin, hairless body, large ears, nose, and feet, he draws unwanted attention. When Regalbop finds a nose in a puddle, he can't be sure if it's his, because he's never seen his reflection. The only mirror in his home had been secreted away in the attic by his father with a strict warning never to look in it unless you are in danger.

Pollybip, a young aspiring wanna be magician, encounters Regalbop and watches as he loses his extemities. Curiosity overcomes her, and when his ears fall off, she scoops them up and runs home to figure out the secret of his magic trick. Regalbop tracks her down but is arrested on suspicion of being the burglar who's been breaking into neighborhood homes.

Escaping from jail, with Pollybip and his ears close behind, Regalbop remembers his father's final instructions regarding the mirror. Climbing to the attic, the two find themselves taking the only path available to avoid prison-through the forbidden mirror and into the great unknown beyond.
