Day & Night
When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly!

A cat named Lorenzo is dismayed to discover that his tail has developed a personality of its own.

Strings
The story of Prince Hal who sets out to avenge his dead father against the city's rivals, the Zeriths, little knowing it was his wicked uncle Nezo who is the real killer, with his own designs on the throne.
