Same park. Different worlds.

Four kids find a hole under the playground slide. Only children can see it — and on the other side, a world is asking for help.

The four children looking down into an open Hole

An original animated franchise, already in production

Leo, Mia, Nico and Luna live on the same street and go to the same school. Then they start seeing the Holes: openings that adults walk straight over, that lead to worlds coming apart. Every world they cross into needs something only children would think to give it.

Behind the Holes is the World Network — five Prime Worlds, five Prime Keys, and a figure called Veyl who was once a boy like them, and who is now convinced the only way to save the Network is to close it.

The cast

Character models are locked. Every design below holds across generations — the same face, the same silhouette, in any world. Select a character to open their full model sheet.

Same park, different worlds

The show's engine is a promise a child understands immediately: the ordinary place you walk past every day has another side. Each episode opens somewhere familiar and ends somewhere impossible.

How it gets made

  • Character consistency is solvedReference sheets hold each character's face, build and wardrobe across every generation — the hardest problem in this pipeline, and the one already working.
  • Built for the format that pays firstThree-minute episodes on YouTube, with vertical cutdowns from the same masters. Short enough to publish weekly, long enough to tell a full arc.
  • Season one is writtenTwelve episodes, series bible, world mythology and a five-season arc already mapped rather than improvised.
  • A franchise, not a shortFive Prime Worlds, a locked cast, and a villain with an origin — designed from day one for merchandise, publishing and licensing.
