Jataka
This
series of stories revolves around five fourth graders - Chazz,
Kiko, Rollo, Sam and Lonnie who, by a freak accident, jump
into a lake that gives them the power to morph into any animal
at their will. Each chooses an animal, indicating their traits.
Chazz, a tall Asian boy turns into a snake, quick to spot opportunities
and ready to jump under cover in trouble. Kiko turns into
the ruler of the skies, a hawk. Rollo, a solid Afro-American
with athletic abilities turns into a cheetah. Sam turns into
a cuddly little mouse and Lonnie, into a character that best
suits him, an elephant.
These
five forms the Jataka crew and their bizarre adventures take
you on a roller coaster of fun and edge-of-the-seat excitement.
They face evil in the eye and discover in the process that
the most devious and diabolical being on earth is man himself.
How they fight together to counter evil is what's to be seen
and enjoyed.
The
characters have been designed by Uli Meyer Studios and the
series have been co-produced with a US firm which also is
the distributor. The format lasts for 26 x 22 minutes.
