Synopsis

Keeko's never had a family, so when he finds a special connection with a jungle bird, he assumes that it's his mother and father. Keeko believes that he's found his "mofather," and he brings the bird home to the Pupununu village to live. The tribe knows that it's crazy, but they accept Keeko and his mofather- that is, until mofather becomes a complete nuisance, and Chief insists that Tak get rid of it. But how will he get rid of the pesky bird without breaking his friend's heart?

Production notes

This adventure comedy series follows the slightly skewed comic adventures of fun-loving, mischievous 14-year old Tak, who has gained access to the magical, mythical realm of the always colorful and powerful Jujus. Based on the hit Nick/THQ video game, Tak and the Power of Juju, is Nickelodeon's first CG-animated series produced at the Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank.

The series follows the teenage jungle-boy Tak and his fellow Pupununu villagers as they deal with their fate as the unluckiest tribe in the world. Their lives are sometimes helped – and frequently made more complicated – by the strange and mystical Jujus, magical beings with whom Tak has a special bond.

Tak is the only Pupununu who holds the “Power of Juju,” which allows him to access magic usually only available to 177-year-old shamans. For most, Juju power could be a recipe for success, but because of Tak's particular combination of imagination and irresponsibility, his powers only get him, the Pupununu villagers, and sometimes the Jujus, into outlandish trouble.

Tak is joined by a colorful cast of characters in this fantastical jungle setting: Chief, Jibolba, Jeera, Zaria, Lok and Keeko.
