Blurb:
"Long ago, when Atlantis began, creatures of the world united to create a place everyone with magical blood could call home. Now the magic is under attack. One madman who thinks only his kind should be allowed is determined to shut down all the gates leading to Atlantis, to keep out the impure and unworthy before anyone figures it out and stops him.

Mermaids fall ill, and the source of light and power over Atlantis begins to fade. By mistake, two mermaids discover the broken gates and issue a call to all magical creatures: unite and fight. They team up with a group of unlikely heroes and together stand against what will not only be the downfall of Atlantis, but the world."

We live in a time where AI-generated content is everywhere—convenient, efficient, and often soulless. It’s not surprising that artists and audiences alike are looking back toward something that feels more tactile, more imperfect, more human. That brings us to 2D animation, an art form that has shaped generations and now, it seems, might just be making a comeback. Here’s what Language of the Soul podcast host, Dominick Domingo, had to say on this trend: There’s been a lot of industry talk lately speculating about 2D/traditional ANIMATION making a comeback. Recent articles confirm that although Disney has not greenlit...
