The Concept
Meet Truphena, a hilariously unlucky villager with big dreams, bigger blunders, and a chicken she just can’t catch. The Misadventures of Truphena is a slapstick claymation comedy that brings rural Kenyan life to the screen with laugh-out-loud storytelling, local flavor, and handcrafted charm.
The Brief
Create an animated series that’s uniquely Kenyan, wildly entertaining, and visually unforgettable. We wanted a story that kids would love, adults would laugh at, and everyone could recognize, because we all know a Truphena.

Kenyan animation rarely leans into comedy and physical humor. Truphena flips the script; literally, with banana peels, flying slippers, and goats that don’t play nice. It’s accessible, memorable, and proudly homegrown.

Synopsis
Meet Truphena; 10 years old, full of attitude, and locked in an epic battle against… a goat and a chicken. Yep. You read that right.
In this laugh-out-loud microseries, The Misadventures of Truphena, every one-minute episode is a
high-stakes, low-success mission as our pint-sized heroine takes on the two most chaotic creatures in the village. The Chicken? Too fast. The Goat? Too stubborn. Truphena? Too determined to quit.
high-stakes, low-success mission as our pint-sized heroine takes on the two most chaotic creatures in the village. The Chicken? Too fast. The Goat? Too stubborn. Truphena? Too determined to quit.
Armed with homemade traps, ridiculous plans, and endless confidence, Truphena tries (and fails) to outsmart her barnyard nemeses; one muddy chase, flying shoe, and vegetable explosion at a time. Set in a colorful African village full of nosy neighbors, sneaky animals, and way too many bananas, this series is proof that you don’t need much screen time to cause a LOT of trouble.
One girl. Two animals. One hundred episodes of pure village madness. Who needs superheroes when you’ve got Truphena?
