inUpowers – Emotion-Powered Characters, Franchise-Ready IP Seeks Commissioner and Production Partner

The Project

Hook:

Every child alive right now is navigating storms they don’t have words for. Not weather. Rage. Anxiety. The crushing need to be seen. inUpowers gives those storms a face – and hands a child the power to survive them.

Concept:

inUpowers is a principle-based animated edutainment series for kids 4–10 and co-viewing families, sitting at the intersection of Inside Out’s emotional architecture and Bluey’s multigenerational warmth – with the curriculum depth of Daniel Tiger’s Neighbourhood. The IP is already a functioning ecosystem: 12 fully designed characters, 30+ written scripts, a live AI companion app operating in 87 languages, and a published library of books, workbooks, and clinical tools. This is not a series waiting to be built – it is a franchise waiting for its screen.

Format:

TV Series · 2D/3D Hybrid Animation · Episodes: 7–12 min (principle-based story) + 1–3 min inUpower moment · Kids 4–10 · Co-viewing families · Edutainment / Action-Comedy / Wellness Franchise potential: toys, gaming, ed-tech, clinical wellness, AI companion platform

Comparables:

✓ Inside Out — ~4.9× theatrical return · emotional intelligence benchmark

✓ Bluey — #1 kids’ show on Disney+ US · $2B+ global merchandise

✓ Daniel Tiger’s Neighbourhood — 150+ territories · gold standard curriculum series

What’s Ready

IP & Development Status:

✓ 12 characters fully designed, nearly finished rigging for animation
✓ 30+ scripts written, ranging 7–11 minutes each
✓ Trademarked and copyrighted IP
✓ Live AI companion app: 2,864 sessions, 87 languages, 5.6ms response time
✓ Fully developed online course and educational curriculum
✓ Published library: children’s books, workbooks, clinicians guide, vocabulary and BE STILL cards
✓ NDA available; full materials package on request

The Team:

Tami Hymas – Showrunner and Founder. Creator of the inUpowers IP and its entire character universe. Developed the emotional lexicon, character psychology, and curriculum framework alongside psychologists, teachers, and counselors. The IP carries her complete authorial knowledge of how every character acts, reacts, and interacts – a creative asset that does not transfer.

The Opportunity

The Ask:

Commissioner and/or development, production partner sought to bring inUpowers to its pilot and series. Structure and terms available under NDA. Open to:

✓ Streamer or broadcaster commission (series order or pilot commitment)
✓ Co-production partner with animation infrastructure
✓ Strategic investor seeking equity position across franchise verticals

Why Now:

The global children’s mental health crisis has created an audience that is not just willing but desperate for content that takes emotional intelligence seriously. The edutainment animation space is consolidating around franchise IP — standalone series without licensing legs are losing ground. inUpowers enters with characters, curriculum, technology, and a clinical co-development pedigree already in place; the window to establish it as the category-defining EQ franchise is now.

De-Risked From Day One:

✓ 30+ completed scripts — No development gap between greenlight and production pipeline

✓ Live AI platform with 2,864 active sessions — Demonstrates real audience demand ahead of screen

✓ IP trademarked and copyrighted — Fully cleared for production

✓ Curriculum developed alongside clinical experts — Built alongside psychologists, counselors, and teachers, ensuring clinical credibility is built in

Most Interesting Project For…

Children’s Streamers and Broadcasters

You are actively looking for the next franchise anchor in the 4–10 co-viewing space — one that carries curriculum credibility, co-viewing appeal, and licensing legs from day one.

Animation Studios Seeking Franchise Co-Productions

You have production infrastructure and are looking for original IP that arrives with characters fully designed, scripts written, and a creator who owns the emotional universe completely.

Impact Investors and EdTech-Adjacent Funds

You back content where measurable social outcomes and commercial scale are the same bet — and you recognize that the children’s mental health space is one of the most underserved and fastest-growing markets in global media.
