Meet one of our properties in development, “Koko the Time Traveling Coconut”

On an uncharted island somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, KOKO the coconut, a sandal named PHILIPPE FLOP, a ceramic pineapple named KITCH, and a lost beach bucket named TUBBY enjoy a laid-back lifestyle in the sun.

However, when a powerful time-portal suddenly opens off-shore spitting out various historical relics from the past, including: Abe Lincoln’s top hat, Galileo’s telescope and Frida Kahlo’s prosthetic leg to name a few, the objects become concerned that their absences from history will disrupt the fabric of space time. Because of this, Koko takes it upon himself to join the time-travelers on their journeys into the past, usually finding that history has already deviated and gone off-corse. Koko and his friends make it their mission to set things straight before history becomes history.

Koko the Time Traveling Coconut is written by Oscar Nominee, iconic character designer, writer/director Teddy Newton, and the team that brought you titles such as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, WALL-E, Ratatouille, and many more.
