The 1996 Olympics mascot got his own movie and honestly? Chaos reigns.
Izzy (mascot of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics), resident of the world inside the Olympic flame, dreams of one day playing in the games himself. To do this, he must gather the Olympic Rings, which represent the skills and values the Olympics represent. Along the way, he is hindered and helped by allies and enemies and splits the Flame World in two: against and for him.
