Too much coffee

Its easy to get distracted, especially by dumb ideas that have nothing to do with what you are currently being paid for.
That said, this just popped into my head - an idea for a new kids cartoon;
"Toby and Elias"

I'm thinking an educational program, exploring issues and themes such as nature versus nuture, the role of religion in a secular society (with a nod toward church vs state seperation), individuality and the common good, reason and passion - how do they work toward the same goals? Consumerism as well as the collective model.

First episode; "No Mercy for Percy"
Synopsis: Involves Toby and Elias with a giant Go-Go dancing robot (called Greg) who has a fiscal management problem and can't get a loan through a regular bank.
Special Guest Star; Jay Laguia as Greg, Hanibal Lector as 'The Lone Shark'

What do you think? 5 - 8 year olds?

I love the idea of a go-go dancing robot ! What would the robot be needing the loan for ?

To be honest I was originally thinking a flamethrower.
But I'm kinda warming to the idea Greg the Go-Go dancing Robot needs to pimp out his speakers for the upcoming Robo-Disco Dance Off Competition (he's up against some stiff competition from Donald the Break Dancing Droid.)

I like the flamethrower ! The speakers would probably work better with the plot. Hey - he's not great with money - he wants both !

A serial killer / cannibal for a money lender is great. Literal arm aand leg deals ( how would he feel about Greg though ? ).
