We have BIG
news and we’ve been bursting to share it with YOU!
Los Angeles-based
animation studio, OddBot, Inc. has optioned “The
Mighty Machines of Mackie McKeens” from Tails of Whimsy to develop
the property as an animated television series.
What exactly does
“option” mean? OddBot is a well-known,
Emmy nominated animation studio in Los Angeles that handles animation for
companies like Disney, PBS Kids (Sprout), Warner Brothers, Amazon and even
American Greetings. In this case, they loved our property, “The Mighty Machines of Mackie McKeens,” so much that they wanted
to develop it themselves.
So instead of the networks coming to OddBot with a
project to animate, OddBot will create treatments based on Mackie and pitch it
to the networks. Because of their close working relationships with these
networks, they may even work directly in partnership with them to bring the
series to fruition.
All of this
takes time and patience, but with any luck, kids ages 2-6 will see “Mackie” on screen. We are working on
getting picture books ready to submit to publishers, and toy manufacturers have
already shown interest. So, if you just had a baby or a grandchild, it could be
that at some point they will be watching “Mackie”
on TV or their preferred digital device!
