(Age +13) — Tales in Exodus
Property:
Tales in Exodus
Logline:
Eber and Lieber, unimportant, everyday Israelites slaving away for Pharaoh, get swept into an exodus from Egypt when they're just trying to find wives, save their troublemaking little sister, and get used to their young uncle being their new dad. But in the middle of the mundane, God always shows up... and brings a sense of irony with Him.
Nutshell:
Prince of Egypt meets Bob’s Burgers with a touch of The Far Side
Tagline:
Demographic:
Ages 13+
Description:
An animated half-hour sitcom akin to Family Guy, Futurama, Bob's Burgers and all the other animation gold from the late 90's and early 00's. The Exodus has been covered in so many ways, but Tales in Exodus follows the people in the background... way, way in the background. Eber and Leiber, twins from the tribe of Manasseh, their mom, new dad/uncle, and little sister are just trying to live their lives, but then this guy named Moses comes along and stirs up Pharaoh. Suddenly, they're out in the wilderness trying to figure out what tomorrow will bring, and still having to deal with the daily grind. But this whole trek can't last forever... right?

Status:
Development
Style:
Still in development, but pursuing an old Addams Family or The Far Side look with a lot of sight gags, irony, and dark humor. Muted color palette with the occasional, intentional pops of color. Pursuing web comics as proof of concept and joke testing ground.
