History's greatest philosophers have formed a super team tasked with battling the modern world's most dangerous dictators, natural disasters, and ferocious munchies, while struggling to unravel the secrets of their cartoon world.
SUMMARY:
History’s greatest minds are back and they have formed the next ‘Avengers.’ Eisen Godfrey, a self-aware cartoon, joins history's most famous philosophers, to solve the world's fiercest challenges. Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad (the unseen director) set aside their differences and built the Guru Center, a multi-dimensional building that serves as a teaching facility to the public, and a 'bat cave' for their action team, run by Alan Watts and Terence McKenna. A diverse cast including Nikola Tesla, Socrates, Thomas Jefferson,Malcolm X Harriet Tubman, and Jerome (a quirky alien diplomat from another galaxy), each guru uses his or her philosophical superpower to further the goals of their founders and save humanity from itself. Their duties may include international diplomacy, disarming nuclear weapons or in-house psychotherapy. With so many massive egos, they may be the cause of earth's destruction, or the secret to its salvation.
