Pivot Pitch

Blockades on the way home

One of my first ideas for the 2D pivoted animation was inspired by a series called 'Through the Dragon's Eye'.
Three young children stumble upon a world where fantasy rules and reality isn't what it seems. They're trapped there and their only way back is by solving riddles. The riddles would be simple and designed to teach preschoolers the properties of various objects. One riddle I thought up involved a troll blocking the path and requesting lemons in return for safe passage. Another is a keyhole that doesn't accept keys but the object riddled on the nearby sign.


The characters are designed to be simple and easy for kids to relate to.

I also sketched up some possible backgrounds to use. I thought a nice watercolour look would be appealing, made to look like something that could be found in a children's book.
