HOLLYWOOD, CA — The Jim Henson Company is in development on a new animated children’s series, Imaginocean, based on the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway musical, John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean. The musical underwater adventure series (52 x 11’) will be brought to life using the Emmy Award-winning Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, a proprietary technology that allows digital characters to be puppeteered in real time.
Set amidst a vibrant underwater world of boisterous characters and bottomless adventure, Imaginocean is told from the point-of-view of an eccentric and charming young fish named Dorsel, performed by the Tony and Emmy-nominated Tartaglia (Disney Channel’s Johnny and The Sprites). The character driven and story-based series is full of comedy, friendship and music; and features a social-emotional curriculum that engages viewers as Dorsel and his pals learn how one small ripple can create a wave throughout an entire deep blue sea.
