Animation : Interesting Dilemma by Chase Carmichael

Chase Carmichael

Interesting Dilemma

Hello. My name is Chase Carmichael.

I'm currently working on the bottle pilot episode for my pre-development concept.

However, as I am resting with severe allergies today. I thought of myself, what would be the best theme for an animation concept of my choice.

If I want to create a concept that targets younger male audiences (boys who are ages 7-12), then I would absolutely think of two or three ideas:

First idea: A rogue of good pirates seek to gain respect, teamwork, friendship, and resiliency to fight against the greedy corrupt pirates who keeps stealing precious items and coins from other Islanders in a travel around the islands. A fantasy, adventure animation.

Second idea: A misunderstood space pilots who fights for acceptance, teamwork, and discovering planets before they encountered a malicious corrupt space emperors who would tried to invade the planet and turn them into dystopian nightmarish planets if they don't protect and save them. Science-fiction, dramedy animation.

Third idea: The former thieves who are willing to give up doing heist plans and ends up become detectives who knew about their actions of stealing or manipulating business people and they must stop the greedy mercenaries and corrupt businessmen who always believes money and power is everything. Mystery but fun and safe, action/adventure, comedy animation.

These are my story ideas that will target younger male audiences.

And if I want the concepts to target younger female audiences (girls who are ages 7-12), then I would think of two ideas

First Idea: A rebellious princess and a sarcastic adventurer team up on the search of the ancient spells that will help out other villagers who are struggling to live up to their expectations or adventurers who would need to be feel accepted and shariing their emotions while trying to collect the spells and face the heartless sorcerer. Musical, fantasy, comedy animation.

Second idea: Two rabbit sisters are willing to help out on other girls with their appearance or their imaginations or even discuss their boy crushes. Coming-of-age, comedy animation.

That's all I can think of potentially on these two concepts but it has to be targeting different types of younger audiences. But right now, I'm busy on focusing on the current concept.

Which one does it best? Let's discuss it. One more thing: The world-setting has to be anthropomorphic animals only, no humans.

If you are a writer, which concepts do you prefer?
