Kenny Pezike is a naive young man and a very talented animator. Kenny sees the good in everyone and he’s a spirited dreamer. Kenny is a former improv performer, but his passion is animation. Through his many interests he has met many people who shaped him into the man he is today.
Paul Emith is Kenny’s best friend since childhood and the cameraman filming Kenny’s dream documentary. Paul is laid back, kind of slow witted and nerdy. Paul loves pizza. Paul is very tech savvy and can work with any gear. Paul’s brother is a talent agent who happens to be a judge at the film festival Kenny and Paul are trying to submit their documentary to. Besides Paul’s talent agent brother, Paul also set up a HipFunder page that funded the making of Kenny’s documentary.
Wally “The Animal” Winner is a legendary wrestler from the 80’s and a childhood hero of Kenny’s. Wally currently lives in a trailer park and blew away his fortune on stupid items like a dinosaur skull. Wally is a giant of a man and he suffers from short-term memory loss due to the rigors of the ring. Wally is Paul’s uncle and Paul’s family is ashamed of him. Wally sees Kenny’s documentary as his comeback and a way to make money. Even after being interviewed for the documentary, Wally tags along with Kenny and Paul’s as they travel making the documentary.
Earl Goodjill is a former Hogan Bros. animator and a mentor to Kenny. Hogan Bros. forced Earl to retire in the 90’s and he’s still bitter towards them due to his forced retirement. Kenny sees Earl as a grandfather type figure. Earl also co-created some of Kenny’s favorite cartoon characters yet receives no credit from the studio for his work and no royalties. Earl currently lives in a nursing home, but he still can draw like a machine.
Kelly McCloud is a young woman who is plus size model and social media star. Kenny has a crush on her and wishes to interview her for his documentary. Kelly is also the niece of Earl Goodjill and she’s a pretty good artist. Kelly is super body positive and loves her curves.
Jane Pezike and Kelly Pezike are Kenny’s foster parents. They adopted him when he was a baby. Jane is struggling musician and Kelly is a bank teller. Jane and Kelly are not just Kenny’s Moms, but they’re also his heroes. Jane shares a lot of Kenny’s traits while Kelly is very cheap and a math wiz. Jane and Kelly want nothing but the best for Kenny and will do anything to make his dreams come true.
Max Hogan the 4th is the current head of Hogan Bros. animation studios and Kenny’s former boss. Max comes from a long line of animators and is one of the wealthiest people in the world. Max is the rival of Earl Goodjill and takes credit for work he didn’t do. Max, even though he’s the head of one of the most legendary animation studios can’t draw to save his life. Max is worried that Kenny’s documentary will put him in a bad light and will do anything to stop launch of the documentary. Max also has crush on Kelly Pezike and tries to woo her, but fails epically.
