Art All Night Film Festival

2A! is proud to announce that our Wonkidos short, “Getting Dressed,” has been accepted into the first annual Art All Night Film Festival!

Art All Night is a 24-hour art and entertainment event held in Trenton, NJ, at the historic Roebling Wire Works. It’s a great opportunity for local artists to display one piece of art for the public to view in a gallery setting. This year’s festival starts on Saturday June 16th at 3pm and ends the next day, Sunday June 17th at 3pm (yep, it’s literally “all night”).

Our Wonkidos short is scheduled to play on Saturday at 3:15pm!

The Wonkidos: Mom's Best Award Winner!


The Wonkidos is now a Mom’s Best Award winner!

Mom’s Best Award (MBA) provides moms with an objective way of determining the “best” products available on the market for their children. Products meeting a certain criteria established by MBA are evaluated by real moms and childcare experts, and can go on to earn the "Mom's Best Award."

Watch the Wonkidos' first episode below, then read some of the reviews from the Mom’s Best Award website.





"These videos aren’t too long, so they held my son’s attention the entire time. He’s just starting to use the potty, so he found the potty training one especially interesting."

"I like how the videos are engaging. The characters speak directly to the child who is watching them, and kids really like that. And each video highlights only one important skill so kids aren’t overwhelmed."

"My younger children enjoyed watching these videos. I think the one about making friends will help my daughter. She is pretty shy, so it’s great that in the video she learned about making eye contact and smiling."

2A! developed the Wonkidos cartoon series for Brighter Futures for Beautiful Minds.

Wonkidos: Animated Social Skills for Kids


2A! is proud to invite you into the wondrous world of the Wonkidos!

Evan is a young boy who loves playing with his favorite toys, the Wonkidos! Wobbles, Stacks, Apps and Sparkles spring to life in Evan’s imagination, and together with Mr. Know-It-All App, help Evan learn valuable social skills in a fun and entertaining way!

Tricia Estrada, founder and president of Brighter Futures for Beautiful Minds (BFBM), thought up the idea of an animated series that would help her son, who was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, learn the social and life skills he would need to succeed. She realized the importance of using visual tools like illustrated stories and organizers to help children understand different concepts and motivate their behavior. She also realized that through the use of mobile technology, she could allow anyone to access these tools at anytime, anywhere. Where parents might have difficulty getting through to their children, the animated characters could easily grab their attention and help turn an otherwise frustrating moment into a teachable one.

Read more of Tricia’s story.

2A! is extremely proud to have helped design and develop this series for BFBM. Together, we produced 6 short-form episodes which are available at www.wonkidovideos.com.

Every episode was carefully written by 2A! and BFBM, and has been reviewed with input coming from developmentalists, researchers, doctors, and most importantly, parents. You can download and watch each video when you sign up at www.wonkidovideos.com.

We hope you enjoy this first video and welcome you to check out the rest!
