Synopsis
The Adventures of Becktron and Sally Slappers is a 30-minute 3-D animated series. It follows the adventures of Becktron, a spunky intergalactic explorer, and Sally, the smartest teen on Earth. The series smashes stereotypes by presenting two protagonists who spotlight the importance of female friendship, women scientists, and strong, diverse role models for the next generation.
Our story begins when the Planet Becktropolis is attacked by the evil General Dahl, an authoritarian dictator who wants to rule the entire universe. Becktron escapes, but her spaceship crashes and lands on Planet Earth, where she meets Sally. Sally is a red-headed genius, who can turn even the most ordinary object into an amazing invention; like turning her flip-flops into a helicopter! The girls become BFFs and vow to use their unique abilities to defeat General Dahl, but first, they must destroy the evil forces that try to stop them on Earth.
Becktron and Sally are inspirational characters who rely on chutzpah and brainpower to outwit their enemies and accomplish their mission. Tween and Teen focus groups were enthralled by our spin on the timeless struggle between good and evil but with a “ girl-power” – space-age twist.
This project is in development, with primary artwork and storyboards significantly completed. As a fiscal sponsor, your support will enable us to complete the first season of the series and help us birth our dream. Who knows, we may even name a character after you!
