Our Vision

Bullying among children in the target market is a serious problem that is rampant, widespread and pervasive with negative effects. Our goal is to produce an animated TV series to reach 5- to 9-year-olds with positive messages and model problem-solving, coping, and self-regulation skills before bullying and group exclusion lead to thoughts of suicide or violence.  It's about saving lives!

Logline: A family of precocious grade school bugs confront bullying and the stigmas of being from “the wrong side of the tracks” while pursuing their dreams of becoming all-star basketball players.

You Ask...Why Bugs?!!!

We chose bugs because many children don't like them, yet they know little about their positive qualities. Bugs are survivors that thrive in unfriendly environments.
 
Koko and his cousins are not superheros with super powers. They are lovable underdogs trying to find their place among their peers. Their adventures resonate with today's children in the target age group. As such, they make an emotional connection with the lovable, fun-loving, and friendly Koko and Friends core characters.
 
Peer pressure, bullying, and wanting to 'fit in' are inevitable challenges of childhood. The Koko and Friends Products encourage children to develop a variety of skills that improve peer-group social interactions. Our realistic, age-appropriate storylines foster the development of strong social and emotional survival skills such as assertiveness, conflict resolution, independent decision-making, personal reflection, and good sportsmanship.
