The Rejects
10x30" Adult Animated Series
In a world where Peter Pan’s drug empire overlaps Tarzan’s game reserve, Merlin’s got a sex dungeon and Robin Hood is a cult leader, the "heroes" of classical literature get away with some awful shit. In the middle of it all is Dr Watson, an earnest, tea-drinking romantic, who, after getting dumped by Holmes, decides to win him back by opening a detective agency.
The Rejects is to classical literature what Rick and Morty is to science fiction — beloved mythology bastardised with gleeful irreverence, wrapped around characters whose emotional damage is entirely real - with a sprinkling of the dysfunctional found-family chaos of Harley Quinn, a show whose heart is in the characters the main story forgot about.
Developed with Emmy-winning producer Rick Mischel (Rick & Morty) and supported by Screen Scotland, with Letters of Intent from OUTtv and Mediawan attached.

Agley the mouse
7" Bridge Animated Series
Agley is a small, scruffy, endlessly curious mouse who lives above The Busy Wee Bothy — a repair workshop on a fantastical Glasgow high street — with his adopted family. Every episode, he makes a well-intentioned mistake, and together they take it and make it great.
Developed with support from Screen Scotland and Creative Sprouts, Agley the Mouse is a warm, funny preschool series that celebrates curiosity, kindness, and the idea that mistakes are how we learn. The show features music by Emmy Award-winning composers Roddy Hart and Tommy Reilly, scripts by autistic writer and Pablo co-writer Sumita Majumdar, and is produced by BAFTA-winner Ken Anderson.
Audience: 4-7 years (bridge)
