Every great show starts with a brave idea.
We create the worlds, and together we will bring them to life. The whole kit and caboodle.

Character Development
We build characters from the ground up - personality, physicality, voice, relationships and emotional arc. Characters that feel real, travel globally, and give audiences someone to grow with. From initial concept through to bible-ready profiles and style guides.
Format Development
We design the worlds your characters live in - the rules, the geography, the tone, the logic. And we shape the format around the audience: episode length, structure, pacing, platform fit. Built to be consistent, scalable and distinctive.
Pitch & Concept Development
Got an idea that needs shaping into something a broadcaster will take seriously? We take raw concepts and build them into fully realised pitches - loglines, one-pagers, decks, treatments and supporting materials that open doors.
Scriptwriting
Scripts written for animation, with an understanding of how children actually speak, listen and feel. We write with character voice at the centre - dialogue that's funny, warm and true, never generic.
Series Bibles
We develop narrative worlds with the rigour that broadcasters and streamers expect. Series bibles, episode frameworks, season arcs, tone of voice, thematic DNA - everything a commissioner needs to say yes, and everything a production needs to get started.
Art Direction & Creative Direction
Visual language, design philosophy, colour, style, world aesthetic. We bring creative direction to projects that need a strong, consistent visual identity - from early concept through to pitch materials and beyond.
Original IP, ready to commission.
Built for partners who think long term.
We are the independent UK animation development studio with a slate of wholly-owned original IP spanning preschool to young teen. Every property has been created from scratch, developed with global audiences in mind, and is available to the right partner for commission, co-production, licensing or format sale.
We don't make content to fill a gap. We build characters and worlds that audiences return to - because they mean something. If you're looking for IP with genuine emotional depth, global commercial potential and a creator who will stay involved and fight for the work, you're in the right place.
We partner through
Co-development: We're selective about co-development partnerships, but we're open to the right ones. If you have IP at an early stage that needs a creative development partner with skin in the game, let's talk about what that could look like.
Commission & co-production: We bring fully developed IP to the table, pitch materials, series bibles, episode outlines and visual identity - ready for a commissioning conversation. We're experienced co-production partners and understand what broadcasters and streamers need to move forward.
Licensing & Options: Our properties are built for extension - publishing, gaming, merchandise, live experience. We're open to licensing conversations with partners who understand how to grow IP responsibly across formats and territories.
Output Deals & Commissioning: Building long-term relationships with producers and networks to deliver series and franchises at scale.
Transmedia Collaboration: Extending our worlds beyond the screen - into audio, books, gaming, stage plays, toys and immersive experiences.
What we are looking for
Broadcasters & streamers
UK, US, European and global platforms actively looking for original children's and family IP to commission or acquire.
Co-production partners

Publishers & licensors
