Alexa and Katie

Prince of Peoria

Pinky Malinky
Pinky Malinky is a mockumentary style animated show that follows the everyday life of Pinky Malinky, an infectiously positive HOTDOG living in a human world. By always reaching for the stars, Pinky pushes himself further than anyone could imagine and proves that being a “wiener” is only one letter away from being a “WINNER”! Together with his two best friends, Babs and JJ, they navigate school in their beloved town of Sackenhack as only three best friends can.
Motown Magic
Ben is a deeply imaginative and slightly awkward eight-year-old African-American boy with a big heart. Ben has one amazing ability: like Arthur pulling the sword Excalibur from the stone, he is the unlikely ‘chosen one’ empowered to use Master Piece – a magical paintbrush with which he can bring to life the street-art characters and murals which adorn the walls of his city. Each of Motown’s stories will be inspired by and built around a classic Motown song, sung by our characters as an intrinsic part of the dramatic narrative.
Larva Island
Yellow & Red are cast away on an island. On this exotic island lives fellow insects, animals and a human! The human is an extremely clumsy man who has very limited wit and intelligence. He becomes their competitor over food, shelter, survival and escape.
