One day, all the rubbish under Bob's bed combines to make Megamess - a walking, talking pile of trash. Together, they join forces to create the MESSIEST MESS OF ALL TIME! They mess up the town, the country, and then, the entire world! Bob is having the mess of his life until he gets sent out to sea and comes face to face with the impact of hisβ€”and everyone else'sβ€”rubbish. Maybe Megamesses aren't as fun as Bob first thought, and there comes a time where we all need to tidy up...
