The dictionary tells us that raveled is the process of taking something apart to make it more understandable. In Raveled the future is taken apart to make it funnier.

Raveled is an action-adventure science fiction comedy about two young men who are torn out of time and flung 600 years into the future, landing on an alien spaceship preparing to attack the Earth. Separately each of them is ill-equipped to handle the situation, but together they make a considerable man. Not bad at all, considering they are sock puppets....

Raveled takes the convention of puppets and stands it on its ear, constructing a humorous yet complex universe with characters that are both believable and sympathetic. Harold and Streek are originally from our time, but an accidental run-in with the "Dryer of Infinite Tomorrows" in the Laundromat whisks these two strangers into situations they could have never imagined. It also forces them to overcome their own insecurities and foibles and learn to work as a team. Eventually Earth defeats the aliens with Harold and Streek's help, and the boys become heroes, traveling through space in the huge alien spacecraft hoping to find clues that will lead them to the "Dryer of Infinite Tomorrows" and the way back home.
