Pinky Malinky

Motown Magic

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.

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.
