The Flying House

The story opens during a game of hide-and-seek, where a boy named Justin Casey (Gen) finishes counting and starts looking for his friends Angela ("Angie") and Corkey Roberts (Kanna and Tsukubo Natsuyama). While searching for the siblings in the woods, a sudden storm rolls in. Justin finds them just as the rain starts, forcing them to rush for shelter. They stumble upon a house in the woods-one Justin swears wasn’t there before. At first, the place seems empty, but soon they encounter a robot called Solar Ion Robot (Kadenchin),or SIR for short. The owner of the house, Professor Humphrey Bumble (Dr. Tokio Taimu),introduces them to his latest invention: a time machine. The professor tries to power the machine by recreating Benjamin Franklin’s lightning experiment, flying a kite outside during the storm. Instead of success, the attempt briefly alters SIR’s personality before accidentally launching the entire house into the past. Misguided by the professor’s mistakes, the children have no idea how long it will take to return home. Along the way, they witness-and sometimes take part in-key events from the New Testament, from the birth of John the Baptist to the rise of the Apostle Paul, all without facing any real consequences.
