Dean & JoJo – Universally Appealing Entertainment Brand
PROPERTY
Based on a true life, one-of-a-kind adventure story about a unique and ageless friendship between a wild dolphin named JoJo, Tuffy the dog and their human companion, Dean.
THE DEAN & JOJO STORY digital characters target adventure stories that travel back through time, into the future and across dimensions. Each episode starts at a critical historical moment on Earth when they take on the task to correct the past with innovative ideas, technology, or a simple intuitive thought in order to encourage and engage children and youth to protect the environment, animals and the future.
Sometimes getting lost on other planets or in vortex of time and space, Dean, JoJo and their global friends must team up with their fans across the trans-media world, engaging them in challenges on multiple platforms, working with kids, adults, scientists, and those who care about Earth and Humanity.
