Korean animation studio MOSTAPES has teamed up with PGS Entertainment and toyco Aurora World to finance, develop and produce a 2D-animated preschool series showcasing a seemingly evergreen kids TV theme—dinosaurs.

Dinosally & Friends (52 x 11 minutes)—featuring the simplistically cute designs and bright colors that characterize all MOSTAPES projects—is about a group of young dinos learning to draw, play music and count numbers at Dino School. The star of the series is Sally, a plucky young Giganotosaurus “who never gives up and always finds a way to make things right.” Dinosally & Friends is currently at the scriptwriting stage of development.

Paris-based PGS will handle worldwide distribution, as well as managing licensing and merchandising rights for the IP, although South Korea’s Aurora World has already staked its claim in the plush category.

As part of an early promotional strategy to build buzz for the series, MOSTAPES released a collection of animated character GIFs on Giphy in 2022. According to a press release, the Dinosally branded channel on the platform generated eight billion views in 2022, making it one of Giphy’s most-viewed channels last year.
