Short Summary
I am Cynthia Hanson. The founder of Wogglebug Love Productions. Which focuses on making the public domain character created by L. Frank Baum more than a hundred years ago into a famous and beloved icon for children of today. Now I am happy to announce that a film company in Hollywood California is interested in making a major movie production of my first movie, "Sylvie and the Wogglebug." First I need to raise $15,000 of the funding to get started with. And I need to as soon as possible, or otherwise it might not happen.
The movie is about a seven-year-old girl named Sylvie Harnois who lives a lonely life as a child in foster care. Then one day a substitute teacher at her school gives her a strange book with a key attached to it. With it she enters the land of Genoma where she first meets Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. who is a highly magnified insect who has just been thoroughly educated. He is polite, kind, and friendly and Sylvie makes fast friends with him. Then on learning she is lost in this new world he vows to help her return to her own. He brings her to the castle where King Ethano and Queen Lexia send them on a quest to rescue the Enchanted Forest from a menacing villain named Antibo, a demented gnomic wizard who wants to change the laws of nature with his new world order of magic which will only do harm to the forest and the residents of it. Mr. Wogglebug together with little Sylvie must somehow convince all of the dwellers of the Enchanted Forest, including the elves and the pixies, to unite and overthrow Antibo from from his power.
Mr. Wogglebug is to be the center of influence of, as well as to help children view the great picture of the journey called life. He is a positive hero toward the benefiting of the education, entertainment, and overall fulfilling enjoyment of the children of new generations. My movies and picture books portray him from beginning to end as always courteous, optimistic, and skillfully intelligent in the face of any and all situations.
Mr. Wogglebug started out as a tiny ordinary bug and after spending years in a one-room schoolhouse, secretly learning from the wise professor and the students, he was found and projected onto a magnifying screen to the size of an adult human. The moment he had the chance, he escaped from the magnifying screen and left the schoolhouse to venture out into the world and see it from the perspective humans see it but insects cannot, and also to interact with the human world on a level no insect of any normal standards ever could. He believed himself to be worthy of admiration and capable of being a strong role model for young children. A steadfast hero for the importance of education, knowledge, and learning. As well as a staunch hero for the world of the fantasy genre at large. Which people of all ages in this day and age delight in with all forms of entertainment and art.
What We Need & What You Get

The Impact
All of this is to be the start of a small franchise for the Wogglebug's rise to fame which will lead into a much larger franchise in the next ten to twenty years from now which I wish to do my best to work towards with the aid of supporters.
The Wogglebug has the potential to rise to fame in being a positive role model for children in learning how to develop the value of learning to use logic and reasoning skills to find out the right answers, and to think for themselves in the face of adversary.
The Wogglebug is even more than this. He is an ideal role model for today's children to be able to gain the ability to believe in themselves when they seem or feel different from all others around them. Such as children on the autism spectrum which I myself had been at least during my childhood, and thus I really believe a character just like Mr. Wogglebug would have made a world of a positive difference for me then. And so I now wish to express these deep feelings to the children of new generations so we can help to make the future brighter for them and the rest of the world, as the children of this generation are the citizens of the next one.
In conclusion, making a donation of any amount to my campaign is to help bring rise to the start of the Wogglebug's franchise and fame. Thus to also support every cause he is involved with. All meant to help make a brighter future for our next generation.
Other Ways You Can Help
If you believe in making this movie possible and in making a difference for the children of today and the future by all means be a supporter of the Wogglebug's franchise. In the event you want to help the campaign but are just not able to donate anything, all I ask is you do all you can to legitimately spread the word of this campaign. Share the link to it at any appropriate place. Use the Indiegogo sharing tools to post about this on your Facebook, Twitter, Spread the word.
This campaign should be advertised especially among people who really like animation, especially people who understand and appreciate beginning filmmakers and who love Fantasy movies. And all the more so it must be advertised among people with families with young children. Perhaps preferably children with special needs, such as those on the autism spectrum. It should also be advertised to people who may or not have families with children who love fantasy that is family-friendly and has a good storyline to it. It should be advertised to people who love picture books with lovable characters and will want to show the image of the Wogglebug to the little kids they know of just as much as they want to buy copies and want to see him.
Please Support and contribute to this project. There is a limited amount of time to. Mr. Wogglebug wants so much to become your child's friend, if only you will help this franchise come to be!
