Production notes
Roy O'Brien is the first cartoon boy living in the real world.
This original new comedy, filmed as a fly-on-the-wall documentary series, combines hand-drawn animation with real-world drama as it follows how one boy struggles to fit in. Roy thinks he's just like any normal 11-year-old. Born into a real world, he is an everyday kid living in an everyday house in an everyday street in a suburb of Dublin, and inside, he feels just like an ordinary kid. He shares the same hopes, aspirations, friendships and fallings out. The trouble is he's animated.
How do you blend in with the crowd when you can squash and stretch, involuntarily turn blue when you're sad, green when you're jealous, and produce a flock of twittering birds when you get a bump on the head? Follow Roy as he tries to figure it out.
Budgeted at an estimated 5 million euros.
Based on the short film "Badly Drawn Roy," also produced by Jam Media.
