OddBot to Adapt Trio of Graphic Novels

OddBot has optioned the rights to adapt The Cardboard Kingdom, Séance Tea Party and The Okay Witch graphic novels into animated series.

“Kids are growing up faster than ever today, and we love how these stories show them overcoming inherent obstacles through imagination and creativity,” said Chris Hamilton, president of OddBot. “They also feature standout characters that will resonate with both kids and their parents, strengthening bonds and initiating conversations.”

The Cardboard Kingdom, drawn and co-written by Chad Sell, sees a diverse neighborhood of kids transform ordinary boxes into colorful costumes. It touches on themes such as family conflict, inner strength and gender identity.

From Reimena Yee, Séance Tea Party follows 12-year-old Lora Xi, who will do anything to stay a kid forever, including befriending the ghost who haunts her house. The series follows a journey of self-discovery as the characters realize what it means to be who you are.

The Okay Witch, written by Emma Steinkellner, centers on a witch-in-progress as she learns the surprising truth about her family’s history and attempts to control her powers.

“While OddBot is known for our work in the preschool space, these three latest titles are fantastic additions to an already growing slate of kids and family projects with more complex, relatable storylines, and we’re excited to help them jump off the page where they’ll be enjoyed by new and existing fans alike on-screen,” Hamilton said.
