A little girl finds a mysterious door in her bedroom, opening a path to the zoo. Tempted by the animals, she brings back a bear, then more creatures, until chaos erupts. Can she restore order before it's too late?

Discovering a magical door in her bedroom that leads her to the zoo, a little girl is tempted to bring just one little bear back to her room, and then a menagerie of smaller animals, and then an irresistible medley of big animals, until pandemonium ensues.
