Using educational multi-media and comical demonstrations, Martin and Chris Kratt, engage audiences in a classic “WILD KRATTS” story. With their amazing animal abilities, The Kratts are off to confront the bumbling and comical villain, Zach and his robots. Of course the Kratt Brothers technology doesn’t always work as planned, resulting in hilarious slapstick fun. The brothers press on, and ultimately rescue their favorite invention from Zach’s clutches so the animals of the creature world are safe once again.
