We've been thinking about what's next for ThinkerBen and Motor.
With the rapid development of AI, the possibilities for expanding our project are growing every day.

While the series itself is entirely handcrafted — as we strongly believe this is essential for preschool content — we're now exploring new ways to produce additional materials using AI technologies.

Here's a short experiment.

🎨 Backgrounds from Princess Playtime
Sometimes the simplest projects are the most stylish.

Here’s a peek at the background art we created for Princess Playtime - a bright, playful world built with love and attention to every detail.

Big kudos to our art team for creating something that feels fresh, modern, and truly magical - even with a minimalist setup.

What do you think?

TinkerBen and Motor is now ThinkerBen and Motor!
We’ve officially changed the name - just one letter, but it makes a world of difference.
Now we’re re-recording the intro, updating already completed episodes, editing names in scripts, and trying to get used to calling him ThinkerBen!
Big thanks to our production team for this fun image - who can spot the reference?

Friends, colleagues, partners!

Our studio wishes you a Happy International Women’s Day!

In our team, there is no room for outdated prejudices — we stomp them out and reject any notion that a person’s role in society should be defined by gender. We believe in equality and know that only by working together, as one unstoppable force, we сan create amazing stories, incredible animation, stunning backgrounds, and flawless production plans!

Through our cartoons, we show kids that they can be anything — engineers, artists, scientists, astronauts. No limits!

We are proud to stand together, recognizing the struggles women have faced and honoring their fight for rights. And if someone dares to say that a woman must do something just because she’s a woman — we will boldly tell them to think again! Because our cartoons are made by both women and men, working side by side as equals.

We celebrate you! Create, live, thrive, and enjoy your work!
You are amazing! We love you! Go out there and kick ass!

We won the first-ever KidScreen License Challenge! 🚀🎉

We were already thrilled just to make it to the finals—honestly, that felt like a huge win for us. But now, actually winning, especially competing against projects backed by major platforms, feels truly incredible.

A massive thank you to our amazing team, to Sandra Lanc for bravely stepping onto the stage and delivering a fantastic pitch, and to everyone who worked on the project and helped prepare it for this event.

We believe this is just the beginning of a long streak of victories for ThinkerBen & Motor!

And hey, feel free to drop some kind words in the comments 😉🔥

A panel of industry professionals voted this Serbian-born IP as the property with the strongest licensing potential.

So much news—we don’t even know where to start!

First up, we’re thrilled to announce that Toon2Tango is now our official partner! We are excited about this collaboration because we truly believe in this team. Together, we’re aiming for the TOP 5 most popular kids’ shows worldwide!

And of course, huge congrats to our friends at Toon2Tango on this amazing addition—ThinkerBen is an awesome project, and we have absolute confidence in it!

Second, TinkerBen is now THinkerBen!
We debated, we resisted… but we finally took the leap. After all, ThinkerBen isn’t someone who just fixes things—he’s an engineer, a problem-solver, a thinker who finds creative solutions and brings them to life. But you wouldn’t believe the production chaos this name change has caused! We’ll be hunting down every instance of TinkerBen in our finished episodes and swapping it for ThinkerBen for the next year. 😅

And last but not least—we’re finalists in the Kidscreen Licensing Challenge!
One week to go, and we’re all hands on deck. If you’re at Kidscreen, come check out our pitch—it’s going to be big!

Phew, did we miss anything?
