In a forest somewhere near you, there is a band of brothers seeking to rid the land of evil and return hope to the poorly treated. They are lean, mean, trained justice fighting machines.

Be prepared to unleash your imagination as Visible Fictions brings this classic tale to life. Look out rich folks, your piggy banks may never be safe again!
