WISE UP (Animated Kids Serial)

WISE UP! is a bold reimagining of the classic tale of CHELM, the legendary “Town of Fools” that combines timeless story-telling, beautiful animation and hilarious comedy. Our stories follow Rais, a woke 15-year old girl and her mischievous 12-year old brother, Velvy, who suspect the adults in their lives might be totally clueless about… everything! When a bite of ancient jam made of apples from the Tree of Knowledge confirms their suspicions, they are propelled into a series of misadventures as they try and fix their topsy-turvy world.
