THE PROJECT
MY NUMBER ONE Two brothers fight over —and within!— a kiddy racing video game.
PLAYER 1 (Red) : Older brother (11-12). bossy, possessive, moody. Wants to win. Needs to play nice! → too bossy
PLAYER 2 (Blue) : Younger brother (6-7). loud, unruly, goofy. Wants to keep up. Needs to play nice! → too immature
THE TWO—each selfish in their own way—LEARN THAT SHARING IS CARING
Action-packed eye candy that pays tribute to games, growth via sibling rivalry, and all those summer sleepovers
ADVENTURE CUP: MACH 5MILLION
Fictional racing video game where players chase after the flying adventure cup (think Golden Snitch)
First player to catch the cup wins!
