Seven-year-old twins Rosa and Dara are spending the summer holiday with Grandma and Grandpa at their old house. It's full of inventions and surprises and of course, their dog, Laiko, who is loads of fun… and trouble. One day things get complicated when Laiko scares off Grandma’s cows and they take off to different corners of the world. It’s up to the twins, Laiko and Grandma to bring them back safely. On their rescue mission they have lots of adventures and learn a lot of new things. They see Iceland, look down the mouth of a volcano. They head to North America, where huge sequoias grow and wild bears live. And finally, they head to outer space. Everything turns out fine and thanks to their teamwork, they are able to get the cows home.

Making of:

The artistic style and design of Rosa & Dara’s world is a unique combination of 3D animation, hand-painted and hand-drawn animation and other art techniques. This approach enables us to work with original painted characters and objects within a 3D world. We can makes use of real camera techniques such as depth of field and work within these painted environments as we do with real world.

Merchendising:

We are preparing children’s stationery, smart toys and comfy bed linen. We will also add books, apps, games and other items to complete the Rosa & Dara’s world.
