MARTIN'S ADVENTURES: THE CARTOON

ENANIMATION ACQUIRES DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS TO MARTIN'S ADVENTURES ANIMATED SERIES

From books to TV: Enanimation acquires the rights to develop the animated

series MARTIN'S ADVENTURES, inspired by the new stories by Philip Osbourne

Enanimation, an independent film production and distribution company, which has been involved in national and international audiovisual productions and co-productions since 2003, announces the acquisition of rights for the development of the animated series Martin's Adventures, inspired by the eponymous stories by Philip Osbourne, pop kids author of the international best-seller The Diary of a Nerd.

Martin's Adventures tells the story of little Martin, a New York City boy who is passionate about science and not very popular with his schoolmates. His life changes when he gets off the bus and suddenly finds himself catapulted into prehistoric times, in a village of primitives. Martin is tasked with saving the Jurassic world from extinction by explaining his inventions and teaching everything he knows to the inhabitants of Jurassika, where unfortunately the bullies have also moved in. Martin's Adventures is characterised not only by laughter, the main feature of Philip Osbourne’s books, but also by educational and ecological sensitivity, which make the work entertaining and, at the same time, attentive to talking to children about environmental issues.

Martin's Adventures, narratively created by Philip Osbourne and graphically developed by Roberta Procacci, who has already worked with Osbourne on The Diary of a Nerd, thanks to Enanimation will become a 2D animated series in 2022, already in development, in which Martin’s Jurassic adventures will come to life for the small screen.

“The clear ideas of Enanimation’s producer (Federica Maggio) immediately convinced me to sign with them. At Enanimation they have a well-defined planning and their growth certainly depends on this. Their planning and their enthusiasm, obviously in addition to an excellent contractual offer, convinced me” declared the author of Martin's Adventures, Philip Osbourne. I am honoured that they were interested in my work. I made myself available to Enanimation for the TV adaptation, and their openness to making me part of the cartoon project only confirmed that their entrepreneurial vision is also supported by a careful artistic vision.

“We are extremely excited to be embarking on this journey with an excellence in children’s publishing like Philip Osborne,” said producer Federica Maggio. “His eclectic and multi-faceted voice will be a great stimulus to create an adaptation that is on par with the original product, also thanks to his direct involvement in the development phase, where we believe his contribution is irreplaceable and decisive to the success of the project. We can’t wait to dive into the adventurous world of Martin's Adventures with Martin!”
