We are developing a children's series based on our new toy line and need a writer to produce the stories. The stories would be short 1-minute online cartoons with no dialogue. We will produce several episodes over time, but immediately we need 3 stories. Only music and maybe sound effects. Our artist/animator will create the storyboards and cartoon based on the scripts. We also plan to use the stories for comics and books for the kids to read online.
Our characters are a group of small robot friends (a robot-boy, a robot-girl, a robot dino, a robot dog, etc). The scripts for these animated shorts will have a cute, funny, slapstick theme, targeted at children, but with a universal appeal (similar to Pucca, or Peanuts). The webisodes will be produced with flash animation. The short cute comedy sketches have similar elements to early Pucca shorts (
