Kidoons is a revolutionary concept in family entertainment and storytelling: it brings together real-world performing arts, online entertainment, and educational outreach. Kidoons is a producer of both classic and original properties for all ages, as well as a media-rich online network. Our team involves some of Canada's top creative talent, producers, software developers, and multimedia artists.
Kidoons is the only organization linking live performing arts, to online arts and education, to real-world communities, and back again.
Current projects:
BOOM (boomtheshow.com), a pop culture history co-produced with WYRD Productions, and now on tour in Canada and the U.S., and its associated online series Heritage Moment (heritagemoment.com)
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (20kshow.com), the theatrical adaptation of the classic tale, world premiere in 2015, and its associated online series Nautilus Leaks (nautilusleaks.com), Jerry Muskrat's Greatest Lakes Adventure (jerrymuskrat.com) and Hydro Empower (h2ocanada.com).
All these stories are connected on the Kidoons Network, a platform of narrative hubs and interrelated Literacy Campaigns exploring Culture, History, Water, Science, Ecology and the Economy.
Kidoons combines the values and passion of a not-for-profit organization, the development capabilities of a tech company, the marketing savvy of an agency, and the creative capabilities of an artist collective. Under the guidance of project leads Rick Miller and Craig Francis, Kidoons is a 360o creative partner that brings to the table a unique ability to apply interdisciplinary, multi-media approaches and create powerful collaborative results in our campaigns and projects.
