                     Childhood isn´t always a succession of
                     colourful snapshots of happy families
                     gathered round the fireplace.

                     That´s why Jonas doesn´t live in
                     a perfect world, even he is far from
                     perfection, but that doesn´t stop him
                     from being happy. Sometimes he has to
                     make use of his imagination to get on
                     with things. Isn´t that something that
                     we´d like to get across to children?

                     A vision of childhood closer to the real
                     life of many children who watch the TV
                     in Spain and in Europe, it can also be
                     constructive and fun.

WHO I S JO N A S?
            He´s ugly, clumsy, nervous and a
            bit grumpy, but we love him anyway!
            Jonas has got his faults, but he has two
            fundamental virtues: he never gives
            up and he´s always ready to learn new
            things.

            Jonas is an only child in a humble
            family in a humble neighbourhood. He
            hasn´t got many toys and the ones he
            has aren´t very good and he lives in a
            tiny flat.

            What he lacks in material things, he
            makes up for with his imagination:
            his bed is a spaceship, the bathtub is a
            ravenous monster, his teddy bear is a
            magic oracle, the stairs... the stairs are a
            galaxy waiting to be explored!
                                                     6
WHERE D O E S JO N A S L I V E ?
                     Like many young Spanish television
                     viewers, Jonas lives in one of the many
                     typical working class neighbourhoods
                     so common on the outskirts of Spanish
                     and European cities.

                     A scenario like this may not seem
                     very light-hearted, but to Jonas it´s
                     a universe, full of friends, magical
                     corners and treasures to be discovered.

                     Of course, it´s also the place where he
                     will learn that sometimes, a child will
                     do well to be careful.

Our little star. The boy that few of us
could admire, but one who we can all
identify with. Like so many of us in
our childhood, whatever Jonas can´t
understand, he integrates into his
fantasy world.

Jonas isn´t always clever or brave, but
his alter-egos are. That´s why we´ll see
him as an intrepid space explorer, an
epic warrior or a brave fireman.

Above all else, he thinks the world of his
grandmother (which doesn´t mean that
he will do everything she tells him to)
and his teddy bear.


                                             9
H uan
        Huan is the only member of the
        gang who doesn´t live in the
        building. He´s always happy and
        he´s a friend you can always count
        on.

        Huan is a bit clumsy, but he
        always thinks things through with
        a cool head




                                             10
SA iD
Jonas´ best friend is a neighbour from
their block of flats. Jonas´ grandma
and Saïd´s mother don´t get on very
well, but that doesn´t bother the boys.

In the series we´ll see their first
encounters and their first games
together.

Saïd isn´t such a daydreamer as Jonas,
but he is much more practical. He´s
braver, but he doesn´t do so many silly
things.




                                                  11
TITAN
        He´s like Jonas: ugly and clumsy
        (and as if that wasn´t enough the
        poor thing´s got a limp), but we
        love him.

        Katy´s dog Titan is affectionate
        and really loves Jonas, but he
        isn´t exactly the most intelligent
        dog in the world.




                                             12
KATY
Pretty on the outside … and hell on
earth on the inside! Jonas knows all
about pain thanks to his neighbour,
a little girl who enjoys making
others suffer, especially Jonas!

The question is: why is it that this
girl is so well-behaved in front of
everyone except Jonas? Maybe it´s
because Jonas deserves it...

THE TEDDY BEAR

        To us he could seem like a plain old
        teddy bear that time hasn´t treated
        well, but to Jonas he is the most loyal
        of friends, the one who never lets him
        down, the perfect confidant.

        By just snuggling up next to him and
        smelling his familiar old smell, all
        Jonas´ problems seem much smaller.


                                                  15
JENNY
        Poor Jenny always dreamed of
        becoming a princess, now she has to
        make do with being a single mother in
        a working class neighbourhood. Perhaps
        that´s why she spoils her daughter Katy
        so much. After all she wants her to
        believe that she is a princess for as long
        as possible.

        Is Jenny superficial? No, she just thinks
        that if problems are on their way, it´s
        better if they catch you with your make-
        up on and wearing your best clothes
        and that it´s best not to take life too
        seriously.

                                                16
T he D i no s aur

In Jonas´ mind, it´s impossible that his
grandmother and the ogre that tells him
off and makes him do things that he
doesn´t like doing are the same person.

That´s why his grandmother sometimes
transforms into the terrible dinosaur,
a voracious and merciless monster who
never hesitates to drag him through the
house and make him have a bath.

The dinosaur is fearsome, but in Jonas´
world which is loaded with symbolism,
it´s often necessary.


                                           17
GRANDMA
          Is Jonas an orphan? Or is it that his
          parents can´t be at home as much as
          they´d like to be? Or they don´t want to
          be. Perhaps we will never know. What we
          do know is that the one who looks after
          Jonas is grandma.

          She doesn´t always get it right, she
          isn´t always sweet and affectionate, but
          she does the best she can. It isn´t easy to
          take care of a naughty boy whose head
          is always in the clouds!




                                                        18
¡The greatest Hero in humankind’s
History!

Well, this is the way Jonas sees
Gigaman. He never misses his
favorite animated TV show.
Gigaman is bold, is brave, is
invincible, never stops smiling.

Jonas’s dream is to have every bit of
merchandising realting Gigaman:
DVDs, games, action figures, towels,
comic-books... But, of course Granny
can’t afford them.




                                        19
THE ORACLE
When Jonas feels a bit lost, the bear
turns into a personal oracle, which
makes us think that, we are probably
seeing the representation his mind
makes of his own common sense and
his sense of moral principles.

Of course we could be wrong.

In Jonas´ imagination, the bear can be a
giant statue in the jungle, the computer
in a spaceship or a monk on the top of a
column, but the Idol always appears to
help our little star.

STORYLINES

         21
EP. 01: T HE BATHTU B
The dinosaur tries to take Jonas, the
intrepid space explorer, to the lair that
is the bathtub, a terrible child-eating
monster.

Jonas escapes and asks the Idol for more
powerful weapons to kill the monsters,
but the Idol suggests that he surrenders
unless he wants to smell bad.

Jonas isn´t sure about it, but he takes
the advice. He takes out his flag and
surrenders. In spite of the terror he feels
he allows himself to be taken to the
bathtub... and discovers that it´s great
fun!

E P. 06 : THE TO O TH R AT
  Jonas discovers that he´s got a wobbly
  tooth. When his grandma tells him
  about a rat called Perez who comes to
  collect the teeth, in Jonas´ mind he
  adopts the form of a gigantic rodent who
  comes to rob teeth.

  Jonas does everything he can to keep the
  tooth in its place, but the tooth falls out.

  Jonas can´t sleep. He hears a noise, and
  shuts his eyes tightly. He goes off to
  sleep. When he opens his eyes, the tooth
  isn´t there anymore. In its place the
  tooth rat has left him a coin!

E P. 09 :THE O C E A N
Sitting on the sofa, Jonas watches his favourite
cartoon series: Gigaman! But he drops the
remote control and the TV goes off. He´s about to
get off the sofa to pick it up when he remembers
that his grandmother has told him not to move
because she has just mopped the floor.

At that moment a crocodile appears. The floor
has become a river and the living room is a
jungle. He is no longer Jonas the boy, but Jonas
the explorer. Jonas throws a bit of chewing gum
at the crocodile who snaps it up in his jaws.

The crocodile chews, but when he goes to open
his mouth he blows a bubble which reaches the
armchair. The force of the impact activates the
mechanism which reclines the armchair and
a footrest lifts up. Jonas moves along it and
stretches to get the remote control.

E P. 1 2: GR E Y R A I N
Jonas gets everything ready to watch Gigaman!
but there is interference and he can only see
an annoying grey rain on the TV. Gigaman!
appears running onto the screen and tries to get
away, but a tentacle of grey rain wraps around
the super hero.

Jonas finds himself with Gigaman´s power
wristband in his hand. He puts it on as if it were
a belt. He takes a few felt-tip pens and enters
the television screen. The monster is visible,
enormous and full of tentacles. Gigaman!
is caught up in one of them. Jonas presses a
button, but the only thing to happen is that
music, typical of that which you´d hear in a
lift, starts to play.

The monster catches Jonas, who manages to
pull his stomach in and drop the wristband.
Gigaman! gets his wristband back and frees
himself, he rescues Jonas and escapes with him.
The picture returns to the television screen. Jonas
has drawn the whole scene in his childlike way
with the felt-tip pens. The episode of Gigaman!
has finished. The superhero flies on screen,
turns and winks at Jonas.

E P. 1 5: THE N E I GHB O UR
 There´s a visitor in Jonas´ house: it´s Katy,
 Jenny´s little, angelical daughter. When
 grandma leaves her on her own with Jonas,
 Katy becomes a terrifying being who enjoys
 terrorising Jonas. She rummages through the
 drawers, breaks Jonas´ toys and throws the
 contents of the shelves on the floor.

 When grandma comes to see what´s going on,
 Katy becomes the little angel she always is and
 it seems that Jonas is to blame. The dinosaur-
 grandmother scolds the boy. Grandma pops out
 for a moment to do the shopping, leaving the two
 children alone. Jonas runs away from Katy.
 He tries to hide himself in the wardrobe, but she
 always finds him.

 His evil neighbour takes his teddy bear.
 Jonas plucks up courage and fights for his
 friend. In the scuffle they break a vase. When
 his grandmother sees the broken vase she
 transforms into the dinosaur, but then Katy
 admits that it was her. And as she puts her
 angelic face on again, grandma forgets about
 the incident. The little girl goes home leaving
 Jonas confused.

E P. 1 8: THE KI TE
Jonas and his neighbours Katy, Said and Huan
play in the park. Suddenly, an enormous kite
with no apparent owner glides towards the park.
The kite falls on the top of the castle, a structure
made of tubes, nets, boards and ropes.

Jonas no longer sees his friends but two pirates.
He carries on walking pretending that he hasn´t
noticed, approaching the castle. Katy orders
Huan to hold him back. In Jonas´ imagination,
he nimbly avoids the pirate´s lunges.

Jonas runs towards the castle, to where Katy has
already arrived. Each of them taking a different
route, they manage to get to the upper part of the
castle/boat, but they hinder each other and, in
the end, the kite soars up and lands on an even
higher place.

They realize that if they work together they can
get the kite. Katy and Huan join hands to help
Jonas up, who manages to hold on to the kite´s
tail by his finger tips. In the end, the children
run around the park playing with the kite.

E P. 21 : THE D O G
Jonas is waiting for the lift with his grandmother.
Jenny comes along with his dog Titan which has
wheels in the place of its hind legs. To Jonas he
seems to be a ferocious wolf with a flea collar and
wooden wheels with sharp blades. The trip to the
fourteenth floor seems to take forever. Jonas doesn´t
stop screaming, terrified the whole way, whilst his
grandmother, Janny and Titan completely ignore
him.

When they finally reach the fourteenth floor, Jenny
and Titan are first to get out and go towards the
door to his house. Grandmother leaves Jonas on the
floor while she looks for her keys. Jenny lets go of the
lead and takes out her keys.

Jonas hears a noise which comes from Titan´s wheels
and he stops, turns around and sees the dog behind
him. He imagines the ferocious dog is going to eat
him up, but all he does is to give him a loud lick.
After that he turns around and goes back to his
owner. Jonas enters his house. At night, in bed, he
smiles and touches his cheek just before he drops off
to sleep. And he dreams that he rides on Titan´s back
through magical lands.

Said and Katy, who are dressed as a witch
and Frankenstein’s monster, but his bandage
catches on his front door and his mummy
costume starts to unravel.

They tell him that he can´t continue trick
or treating with them. Jonas goes home and
finds the end of the bandage that was once his
costume. He ties it to his waist and takes a run-
up. Jonas comes flying out tied to the bandage.
The bandages catches on an adornment on the
ceiling and Jonas is left hanging there.

A sheet falls out ending up covering Jonas from
head to toe. Katy and Said appear, happy with
all the sweets they have collected. When they
see Jonas, they run away screaming leaving
their bag of sweets behind. Jonas moves about so
that the bandage gives way and he falls onto a
mountain of sweets.

Jonas, the animated series

  • 4. Introd u c t i o n Childhood isn´t always a succession of colourful snapshots of happy families gathered round the fireplace. That´s why Jonas doesn´t live in a perfect world, even he is far from perfection, but that doesn´t stop him from being happy. Sometimes he has to make use of his imagination to get on with things. Isn´t that something that we´d like to get across to children? A vision of childhood closer to the real life of many children who watch the TV in Spain and in Europe, it can also be constructive and fun. 4
  • 5. G ENERAL C HA R AC TE R I STI C S Title: Jonas Format: 26 x 5’ Animation: 2D Flash Target Audience: 6-10 Languajes available: No dialogues 5
  • 6. WHO I S JO N A S? He´s ugly, clumsy, nervous and a bit grumpy, but we love him anyway! Jonas has got his faults, but he has two fundamental virtues: he never gives up and he´s always ready to learn new things. Jonas is an only child in a humble family in a humble neighbourhood. He hasn´t got many toys and the ones he has aren´t very good and he lives in a tiny flat. What he lacks in material things, he makes up for with his imagination: his bed is a spaceship, the bathtub is a ravenous monster, his teddy bear is a magic oracle, the stairs... the stairs are a galaxy waiting to be explored! 6
  • 7. WHERE D O E S JO N A S L I V E ? Like many young Spanish television viewers, Jonas lives in one of the many typical working class neighbourhoods so common on the outskirts of Spanish and European cities. A scenario like this may not seem very light-hearted, but to Jonas it´s a universe, full of friends, magical corners and treasures to be discovered. Of course, it´s also the place where he will learn that sometimes, a child will do well to be careful. 7
  • 8. M AIN C HA R AC TE R S 8
  • 9. Our little star. The boy that few of us could admire, but one who we can all identify with. Like so many of us in our childhood, whatever Jonas can´t understand, he integrates into his fantasy world. Jonas isn´t always clever or brave, but his alter-egos are. That´s why we´ll see him as an intrepid space explorer, an epic warrior or a brave fireman. Above all else, he thinks the world of his grandmother (which doesn´t mean that he will do everything she tells him to) and his teddy bear. 9
  • 10. H uan Huan is the only member of the gang who doesn´t live in the building. He´s always happy and he´s a friend you can always count on. Huan is a bit clumsy, but he always thinks things through with a cool head 10
  • 11. SA iD Jonas´ best friend is a neighbour from their block of flats. Jonas´ grandma and Saïd´s mother don´t get on very well, but that doesn´t bother the boys. In the series we´ll see their first encounters and their first games together. Saïd isn´t such a daydreamer as Jonas, but he is much more practical. He´s braver, but he doesn´t do so many silly things. 11
  • 12. TITAN He´s like Jonas: ugly and clumsy (and as if that wasn´t enough the poor thing´s got a limp), but we love him. Katy´s dog Titan is affectionate and really loves Jonas, but he isn´t exactly the most intelligent dog in the world. 12
  • 13. KATY Pretty on the outside … and hell on earth on the inside! Jonas knows all about pain thanks to his neighbour, a little girl who enjoys making others suffer, especially Jonas! The question is: why is it that this girl is so well-behaved in front of everyone except Jonas? Maybe it´s because Jonas deserves it... 13
  • 14. Seconda ry C ha r ac te r s 14
  • 15. THE TEDDY BEAR To us he could seem like a plain old teddy bear that time hasn´t treated well, but to Jonas he is the most loyal of friends, the one who never lets him down, the perfect confidant. By just snuggling up next to him and smelling his familiar old smell, all Jonas´ problems seem much smaller. 15
  • 16. JENNY Poor Jenny always dreamed of becoming a princess, now she has to make do with being a single mother in a working class neighbourhood. Perhaps that´s why she spoils her daughter Katy so much. After all she wants her to believe that she is a princess for as long as possible. Is Jenny superficial? No, she just thinks that if problems are on their way, it´s better if they catch you with your make- up on and wearing your best clothes and that it´s best not to take life too seriously. 16
  • 17. T he D i no s aur In Jonas´ mind, it´s impossible that his grandmother and the ogre that tells him off and makes him do things that he doesn´t like doing are the same person. That´s why his grandmother sometimes transforms into the terrible dinosaur, a voracious and merciless monster who never hesitates to drag him through the house and make him have a bath. The dinosaur is fearsome, but in Jonas´ world which is loaded with symbolism, it´s often necessary. 17
  • 18. GRANDMA Is Jonas an orphan? Or is it that his parents can´t be at home as much as they´d like to be? Or they don´t want to be. Perhaps we will never know. What we do know is that the one who looks after Jonas is grandma. She doesn´t always get it right, she isn´t always sweet and affectionate, but she does the best she can. It isn´t easy to take care of a naughty boy whose head is always in the clouds! 18
  • 19. ¡The greatest Hero in humankind’s History! Well, this is the way Jonas sees Gigaman. He never misses his favorite animated TV show. Gigaman is bold, is brave, is invincible, never stops smiling. Jonas’s dream is to have every bit of merchandising realting Gigaman: DVDs, games, action figures, towels, comic-books... But, of course Granny can’t afford them. 19
  • 20. THE ORACLE When Jonas feels a bit lost, the bear turns into a personal oracle, which makes us think that, we are probably seeing the representation his mind makes of his own common sense and his sense of moral principles. Of course we could be wrong. In Jonas´ imagination, the bear can be a giant statue in the jungle, the computer in a spaceship or a monk on the top of a column, but the Idol always appears to help our little star. 20
  • 22. EP. 01: T HE BATHTU B The dinosaur tries to take Jonas, the intrepid space explorer, to the lair that is the bathtub, a terrible child-eating monster. Jonas escapes and asks the Idol for more powerful weapons to kill the monsters, but the Idol suggests that he surrenders unless he wants to smell bad. Jonas isn´t sure about it, but he takes the advice. He takes out his flag and surrenders. In spite of the terror he feels he allows himself to be taken to the bathtub... and discovers that it´s great fun! 22

Jonas does everything he can to keep the tooth in its place, but the tooth falls out. Jonas can´t sleep. He hears a noise, and shuts his eyes tightly. He goes off to sleep. When he opens his eyes, the tooth isn´t there anymore. In its place the tooth rat has left him a coin! 25

He´s about to get off the sofa to pick it up when he remembers that his grandmother has told him not to move because she has just mopped the floor. At that moment a crocodile appears. The floor has become a river and the living room is a jungle. He is no longer Jonas the boy, but Jonas the explorer. Jonas throws a bit of chewing gum at the crocodile who snaps it up in his jaws. The crocodile chews, but when he goes to open his mouth he blows a bubble which reaches the armchair. The force of the impact activates the mechanism which reclines the armchair and a footrest lifts up. Jonas moves along it and stretches to get the remote control. 27

Gigaman! appears running onto the screen and tries to get away, but a tentacle of grey rain wraps around the super hero. Jonas finds himself with Gigaman´s power wristband in his hand. He puts it on as if it were a belt. He takes a few felt-tip pens and enters the television screen. The monster is visible, enormous and full of tentacles. Gigaman! is caught up in one of them. Jonas presses a button, but the only thing to happen is that music, typical of that which you´d hear in a lift, starts to play. The monster catches Jonas, who manages to pull his stomach in and drop the wristband. Gigaman! gets his wristband back and frees himself, he rescues Jonas and escapes with him. The picture returns to the television screen. Jonas has drawn the whole scene in his childlike way with the felt-tip pens. The episode of Gigaman! has finished. The superhero flies on screen, turns and winks at Jonas. 29

The kite falls on the top of the castle, a structure made of tubes, nets, boards and ropes. Jonas no longer sees his friends but two pirates. He carries on walking pretending that he hasn´t noticed, approaching the castle. Katy orders Huan to hold him back. In Jonas´ imagination, he nimbly avoids the pirate´s lunges. Jonas runs towards the castle, to where Katy has already arrived. Each of them taking a different route, they manage to get to the upper part of the castle/boat, but they hinder each other and, in the end, the kite soars up and lands on an even higher place. They realize that if they work together they can get the kite. Katy and Huan join hands to help Jonas up, who manages to hold on to the kite´s tail by his finger tips. In the end, the children run around the park playing with the kite. 33

To Jonas he seems to be a ferocious wolf with a flea collar and wooden wheels with sharp blades. The trip to the fourteenth floor seems to take forever. Jonas doesn´t stop screaming, terrified the whole way, whilst his grandmother, Janny and Titan completely ignore him. When they finally reach the fourteenth floor, Jenny and Titan are first to get out and go towards the door to his house. Grandmother leaves Jonas on the floor while she looks for her keys. Jenny lets go of the lead and takes out her keys. Jonas hears a noise which comes from Titan´s wheels and he stops, turns around and sees the dog behind him. He imagines the ferocious dog is going to eat him up, but all he does is to give him a loud lick. After that he turns around and goes back to his owner. Jonas enters his house. At night, in bed, he smiles and touches his cheek just before he drops off to sleep. And he dreams that he rides on Titan´s back through magical lands. 35
