STORY SUMMARY
Meet Zuzu, the social media savvy bee who dreams of being a famous singer, despite her out of tune voice. Together with her friends Rocky Cocoa, Marsha Mallow, Popcorn, and Hot Dog, Zuzu lives in an enchanted food-filled place called Zuzubaland. The magic of the land doesn’t stop Zuzu and friends from experiencing the trials and tribulations of tween life (like believing an infomercial for shampoo that’s supposed to create luscious locks but results in hair loss, missing time with friends while trying to create the perfect “Facezook” post, or not caving into peer pressure when The Witch of Zuzubaland offers to give all the townspeople a too-good-to-be-true potion to make them endlessly happy).
Zuzubaland’s humor will keep parents entertained while kids will love the funny antics of the diverse group of characters acting in a modern set of storylines. In between the laughter,
viewers are sure to learn a real-life lesson.

Zuzubaland The Movie - release in 2024
Zuzubaland The Movie is about the importance of pollination in our lives. To tell this story we have three main ingredients: a bee, a kingdom where everything is made of food and a neighboring witch who hates food.
Disguised as a webinfluencer, the Witch convinces all the bees that they should stop pollinating and start pursuing their dream careers.
She also presents to them a pill that substitutes food. There is an explosion of Youtubers, Yoga Teachers, Uber Drivers, Eyebrow Designers bees and many other new careers.
But without pollination, the food starts to finish and all the bees that consumed the witch’s pills are now zombies.
There is only one way to save Zuzubaland, or better yet, there is only one bee left to save the day: our star Zuzu, who has practiced her entire life to be a Webdiva, but has never pollinated a flower in her life.
Will she succeed to scape the Witch and her army of zombie bees and pollinate the last magic flower in Fruit Salad’s Forest?
Licensing EXPO 2023
Zuzubaland will be attending Licensing EXPO 2023 to explore licensing opportunities in the US, with a booth located next to Hasbro.
