ROCKET ROB

Every family has heroes.

Animated Feature Film · Approximately 90 Minutes

A dad who might be a superhero — or might just be trying his best.

Told through the eyes of his eight-year-old son, who genuinely believes his father saves the world before dinner — right up until the day he stops. Twenty scripted scenes, a full production bible, and 90+ pieces of art that all started with a kid in a dish-towel cape.

Together

Two audiences. Same film.

What kids see

A dad with a dish-towel cape who battles a giant made of kitchen pipes, flies across the city, and saves the day before bedtime.

What parents see

A man choosing between a promotion and his family. A mother who folded Vela away and forgot she could choose both. An empty seat at a hockey game.

From “The Silence”

ROB
Hey, bud. You still up?

MAX
You missed the story.

ROB
I know. I’m sorry, bud. Tomorrow I’ll—

MAX
You said that yesterday.

Not angry. Not accusing. Just… factual.
A kid stating what’s true.

The Silence

What exists today.

The master screenplay is done — twenty sequences, beginning to end — backed by a full production bible: characters, world rules, three-act structure, visual style guide. There’s also a standalone animated short, festival-ready and spoiler-free, built to introduce the world without giving anything away.

Alongside it: 90+ pieces of concept and key art across every major scene and character, plus complete character design sheets with turnarounds for the primary cast.

“Every family has heroes. Ours has the best ones.”

Max, in the film’s final line
