After the success of their 2013 pilot season, Amazon Studios are back with a new bunch of pilots - including 5 kids series.

Repeating last years pattern, feedback from voters on Amazon's Amazon Instant Video (US) and LOVEFiLM (UK) will determine which shows are produced exclusively for Amazon Prime. (Last year 3 of the 6 kids series made it through to production of a full season.)

With shows from creators like Duane Capizzi (Transformers Prime), Josh Selig (The Wonder Pets), Angela Santomero (Blue’s Clues), Arland DiGirolamo (Sketchy), Alex Winteras (Ben 10) as well as debut David Anaxagoras, this will be a hotly contested race!

This years pilots are:

Maker Shack Agency

Maker Shack Agency takes a unique look at the “maker” movement through the adventures of Wolfie, a 13-year-old inventor with grand idea and a motto of “fail forward.” Created in conjunction with the think tank Applied Minds and the production company Electus, the pilot was written by Arland DiGirolamo (Sketchy), Geoff Barbanell (Kickin’ It) and directed by Alex Winter (Ben 10, Downloaded) and features original music from Dr. Dog.

Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street

This live-action adventure series created by David Anaxagoras, a first-time writer, was discovered through Amazon Studios’ open-door submission process. Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street is a coming-of-age tale that centers around Gortimer, his two best friends Ranger and Mel, and their exploits in an ordinary suburb that has a hint of something magical just beneath the surface. The pilot was directed by Oscar winner Luke Matheny (God of Love, Maron) and guest stars Fionnula Flanagan.

Wishenpoof!

Written by Angela Santomero, creator of Blue’s Clues, Creative Galaxy, and the Emmy-nominated literacy series, Super Why!, Wishenpoof! is an animated pilot that revolves around Bianca, who has “wish magic” which means if she wishes to play under the sea then becomes a mermaid. This is Santomero’s second Amazon Studios pilot – his first, Creative Galaxy, is currently in production and scheduled to be available on Prime Instant Video in 2014.
