Plot
Puff finds a young boy named Terry who has an overactive imagination, and who therefore has trouble making friends with other children, instead having an imaginary friend - a duck wearing a saucepan as a hat with a feather named Mr. Nobody. When Terry's imagination starts to get him in trouble, he begins to blame Nobody for imagining the things that Terry has dreamed up, until Terry ceases to believe that he has any imagination of his own. Eventually, Mr. Nobody abandons him and Puff must take Terry on a quest to find Nobody, teaching him along the way to embrace his creativity.
