GROWING UP CREEPIE
Creepie is "different." found on the doorstep of the abandoned Dweezwold Mansion. Creepie was taken in by the family of bugs who lived there and taught their ways. Creepie learned to scale walls, spin a web out of dental floss, and make a run for it when someone shines a light at her.
Growing up with bugs was the most natural thing in the world for Creepie. But her parents know she has to learn to survive in the outside world, so they've decided it's time to send creepie to school... with those oversized, clod-footed bipeds... the humans!!!
Creepie is surprised to learn the world is infested with humans and even more shocked to fins out she's one of them! Sure, she's noticed she's different from the other bugs on the house, but she always assumed she'd molt one day and develop wings and antennae. Even worse she must now, on a daily basis, deal with the most bizarre and unpredictable species on the planet - teenagers.
Creepie finds humans, who have no colorful protective exoskeletons, just as strange as they find her. But she's not looking for anyone's approval. She's not going to change or try to fit in just because other people think she's weird. And when things get rough, she's got the perfect protective shell - her dark humor and dry wit.

INIS COOL
The Island Of Inis Cool is a refreshing animation series that could only be set on an isolated island off an unknown coast of Ireland. Indeed, Inis Cool represents a cultural fault-line where time doesn't stand still, so much as loiters a bit. Our heroes, the three dim-witted schoolboys Biff, Boff and Ben O'Malley, amuse and annoy with their cheeky attitudes and outrageous antics. They live on a remote island but, when the modern world intrudes, tourists and technology are exploited without mercy in the interests of the boys and their comical ambitions.
Series broadcasters include: KIKA, Germany; TG4, Ireland; YLE Finland; TV Estonia; NPB, Holland; BBC, Scotland and many other international broadcasters.

ZOMBIE HOTEL
Rictus and Funerella are a couple of zombies, perfectly respectable, polite and caring, but zombies. They own an old spooky hotel in a distant and remote part of the world. They have two children: Maggot and Fungus, and employ several people to help them run the place.
Unfortunately business is slow and the few permanent residents that live at the hotel are not enough to keep the hotel afloat. What could be the reason for this lack of success? The few new guests that arrive usually leave after a couple of hours and all of them run out screaming after they have had their first - and last - meal at the in-house restaurant. Maybe the explanation could come from the fact that all the characters living and working in the hotel are, in the eyes of the outside world, somewhat strange ... !
