Synopsis

Elli isn’t like other ghosts. She would rather play games and lend a helping hand than scare. But when humans start capturing ghosts across town, she must team up with a lovable crew of misfit monsters to rescue her family and save all of monster-kind. Soaring through the skies and unlocking her ghostly gifts, Elli learns that her greatest power isn’t scaring people—it’s showing them kindness.
