Patrick and Theo is a cartoon series about our love for cartoon series, and film in general. In the episodes, we blend together elements from genre-movies and modern fantasy. The idea behind Patrick & Theo is to reintroduce a similar kind of action-adventure series, we used to watch as children, for there seem to be both a nieche, and a trend of revival of this genre nowadays. Format Patrick & Theo is a light-hearted, humorous animated adventure series, aiming 6-9 year old children. It would consist of 26, 11-minute-long episodes. Vector based, computer animation is used.
Synopsis:
Thousands of years into the wild future, Nature has reconquered the great cities that had once reached towards the sky. The dreary landscape became infested with mutants, prehistoric species and creatures known only from legends. In this world of weird science and natural wonders, Patrick, a young, movieloving boy, and his dog/best friend Theo decide to take a stand as the last, self-appointed supercops.
Characters:
Patrick is a boy of 10, who grew up on the crime series of the 70s. His most ardent desire is to become like his idolised, movie-cops, who are morally unquestionable, always standing on the right side of justice. He never doubts that he is the only one, who could bring order to the surrounding chaos. Though delusioned, his enthusiasm, creativity and luck often helps him out of the most impossible situations. And if all things fail, there’s still someone to count on...
Theo is a mutant, anthropomorphic dog, the partner and guardian of Patrick. His past is mysterious, but most probably he used to be a bounty hunter after he had mastered the martial arts of the samurais. He is the more rational, and more physical half of the duo.
