"Destination: Imagination" is a television special of the animated television series Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The plot of the special follows Frankie, who becomes trapped in a huge, mysterious world where she is treated like royalty but forced not to leave. Bloo, Mac, Coco, Eduardo, and Wilt journey through the world to rescue her, facing perils and challenges along the way. Written by Lauren Faust and Tim McKeon, "Destination: Imagination" was directed by Rob Renzetti and series creator Craig McCracken. The plot was conceived after the crew decided that they wanted to make an episode with adventure, featuring the characters going out on a large quest of sorts. Due to the dark and serious storytelling approach used, the special came out "edgier" then most episodes of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The special originally broadcast on Cartoon Network on November 27, 2008, on Thanksgiving Day. It was well received and won the Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming One Hour or More)". It was also nominated for two Annie Awards—one for "Best Animated Television Production Produced for Children" and another for McCracken and Renzetti's directing.
