Concept: With production on its first live-action/CGI hybrid Dino Dan winding down, Sinking Ship partner J.J. Johnson says he was looking to do something science-based that would capture the attention of the six to nine demo that he feels is often overlooked when it comes to programming. “They’re a magical group of kids who still believe in things and haven’t lost that innocence,” he contends. And what better than a series about a hyper-intelligent girl named Anne who creates three android helpers to assist her in carrying out experiments that also demonstrate fundamental scientific principles? Throw in an inquisitive foil in the form of neighborhood boy Nick—Mulder to Anne’s Scully, if you will—who happens upon the girl’s junkyard laboratory by accident, a Steam Punk aesthetic and electronic soundtrack, and you’ve got the makings of a fun, “soft-e” educational series that should pique kids’ curiosities.
