Présentation au MIPJunior
Discovery and exploration of the oceans
The animated series Splash and Bubbles is for children from 4 to 7 years. The 80 episodes of 11 minutes each were designed in a fun and educational way, unlike other animation series whose decor is the underwater world. Through comic characters and a series of twists on background of Motown music (soul and pop), children around the world can discover and explore the oceans in company of their new friends.
Marine biology and ocean sciences
The series comes from a revolutionary digital technology enabling the creators to make real-time animated movements on the characters, which offers a more lively and spontaneous animation, a unique and innovative vision in the traditional animation landscape. Following the advice of a panel of experts in marine biology, digital developers and educators, Splash and Bubbles teaches children the basics of marine biology and ocean science while stimulating their social and emotional creativity.

Friendship between a fish and a dragon
Splash and Bubbles tells the adventures of Splash, a yellow fusilier fish, who crossed all the oceans before reaching Reeftown where it meets Bubbles, a mandarin dragon with orange and electric blue colors, reflections of its lively and cheerful personality.
Until Splash’s arrival, Bubbles and the whole aquatic community in Reeftown have no idea of the outside world beyond the reef. Together, Splash, Bubbles, and all their friends go to explore the seabed, to try to make new friends and learn about other ways of living, so different from theirs. A series of underwater adventures in the long term that celebrates the importance of difference and diversity.
