Little adventures. Real feelings.

We're creating short animated stories from the neighborhood for kids ages 3 to 8, about eight minutes each. One friend, one wobble, and a little help from the crew.

Beny looks disappointed after a missed basketball shot while DJ Next Play, Pippa and Willow look on at the seaside court.
A peek into the world we're creating.

Inside every episode

Each story follows the same simple shape, with plenty of jokes along the way.

  1. A friend wants something.

    To join the game, finish the mural, nail the trick.

  2. Something gets in the way.

    A miss, a mix-up, a friend who needs space.

  3. A real feeling shows up.

    And nobody tells it to go away.

  4. Another friend brings a tool.

    A question, a pause, a small brave step.

  5. They try a next step together.

    It doesn't fix everything. It helps.

Watching together

  • After a story, ask the starring friend's question. Every friend page has one.
  • Notice the moment the feeling showed up. What did the friend do next?
  • Let your kid lead. Talking, drawing or acting it out all count.
