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.

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

They achieve victory by setting aside their egos, learning to trust one another and fighting as one to maintain harmony and balance in the land.
Super Monsters
As preschoolers with super powers, Drac, Cleo, Lobo, Katya, Zoe and Frankie are students with dual identities: humans by day and magical monsters by night.
