New Cartoon Series For Muslim Children

A brand new cartoon series called Barakah Hills is in the early stages of production and needs your support to get it to the finish line inshallah.  

Barakah Hills tells the story of the Abdullah family and their everyday experiences in the town of Barakah Hills. It is a small town with a predominantly Muslim population. The Masjid is the central hub of the town with Imam Nouradeen as the community leader and role model.

About One 4 Kids 

One 4 Kids have been producing animation films with the famous cartoon character Zaky for the last 10 years alhamdulillah.  We have always struggled to find the funds needed to produce new content which is much needed for our children.  As we know Muslims are averaging much higher birth rates plus increased amount of time children are watching various videos on devices, computers, and television.  With your support, One 4 Kids hopes to complete production on this new ongoing series inshallah.  

Alhumdulilah over the past 10 years we have produced 14 films and 100's of educational videos.  Our funds have always come from the sales of DVDs and products however this was never enough.  We are hoping that with your support we can achieve our goal of producing not only this series but movies as good as Pixar, Disney, Marvel, and the like inshallah.

How is production going so far! 

We have 14 scripts written and ready to be storyboarded and animated.  All characters and backgrounds have almost been completely designed.  Our preview video gives you an idea of the series. The highest cost for us is the animation, which is where most of the funds will go towards.  Each episode will need $10,000 to complete inshallah which is a  very low budget animated series compared to most animations on TV today.  The reason we are able to produce at a low cost is because we do all the other work in the production such as writing, editing, voices, song production and design.  To give you an example of animation cost, Peppa Pig cost £5,000 ($7755) per minute, so for a 52-show series that comes to £1.3m ($2m).

Let's Do This Together

In the past, we relied on the sales of our products to fund our films which didn't work and recently we started an online subscription channel (www.one4kids.tv) in hope that thousands of Muslims would subscribe thus giving us the funds we need.  Unfortunately, this has not happened yet.  We believe that if we add more content on our new channel then more people will subscribe inshallah and ultimately giving us the funds we need to grow and produce Disney and Pixar-like movies for our children inshallah.
