The production arm of Guinness World Records, GWR Studios and Turkish studio Fauna Entertainment (Briko, Kukuli) are partnering to develop a new animated series, Brody Luckystar. The alliance marks GWR’s first fully-animated series project, which will take the globally famous recorder of feats into a 2D world that celebrates the fun and challenge behind each record attempt.
“Brody Luckystar is a shining example of how we can draw on the amazing world of Guinness World Records to create entertaining stories that will show audiences the determination and emotion involved in each and every record attempt,” said Karen Gilchrist, VP of Television & Digital for GRW. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Fauna Entertainment to bring this to life in the animated space for the first time.”
Brody Luckystar will follow the adventures of its titular character Brody and her family as they move to a new town where everyone has a world record — everyone that is, except Brody. Aimed at young tweens, the series will emphasize the importance of enjoying the journey, not just the destination. Brody desperately wants to break a record and in her quest to achieve this goal she learns so much about friendship, family and the importance of staying true to her values.
“From the first day of ideation, Brody has been so special to us. Brody is a compelling hero who loves her friends and family while having big dreams, like most of us, she embodies all the challenges she faces while trying to achieve her ambition of breaking a world record,” Emre Aksoy, CBO of Fauna Entertainment, shared. “We hope that Brody will be a positive role model for children worldwide who will be able to identify with Brody and root for her to achieve her dream.
Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Eric Shaw (SpongeBob SquarePants, Big Nate) is on board to write the pilot scripts. The collaboration will see GWR Studios and Fauna Entertainment work together to develop all of the show assets, along with the scripts, bible and animatics, as they prepare to present the series to potential commissioners and co-production partners.
