Character Designer & Animator

Children's Islamic Animation Creator Needed – Pilot Episode for "Lana Banana"Project Overview
I am creating a children's educational animation series called Lana Banana, a fun, lovable, curious young girl accompanied by her mischievous monkey friend. The mission of this project is to teach children Islamic values, stories of the Prophets, and good character through engaging, entertaining storytelling.
This is intended to be both a high-quality children's media project and a long-term Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) initiative that can eventually be shared with schools, mosques, homeschooling families, and children worldwide.
I am looking for a talented animator/video creator to produce the first pilot episode.

Lana Banana Learns About Prophet Nuh (Noah) عليه السلام
Length:
2–3 minutes

English
Creative Direction
I want the animation style to be:
