THE MAGIC TRAP CONCEPT

After 300 years of unconditional love, Pandora announces to

Plato, that she is not in love with him anymore. Why? Because she remembered that 300 years ago, a witch had told her that in their 300 year anniversary Plato would die, unless she never saw him again. And their 300 year anniversary is 24hrs away!

 

An alien’s University Computer detects on Earth a hole in space-time that leads to the Past. Through that hole, “Flame” arrives on Earth. The worst but most dynamic student of the University.

 

Arriving on Earth she discovers that the tears of the “Magic Birds” are magical. A fact known to only the three very wicked and vain “friends” of them, Marilyn and her two sons, Charlie and Louis.

 

After Marilyn’s trip to the Past she not only managed to tear apart the greatest love of all times, but also to eliminate the Love itself from earth. Now that no one is able to feel love, Earth falls at the hands of evil Marilyn. Her aim? To become “the Most Famous Villain in History”.

​

So, who is going to save the Earth?

adorable creatures known to man.

 

Hobbies: reading, trying new sports and dancing

 

She loves animals and her best friend Carmen. 

Marilyn.png

The amusement park’s photographer

who hates children because she was being

bullied at school. She knows the secret of the magic

 all times’! To become a nightmare of all children and not

let them sleep out of fear! Even her two sons, Louis

and Charlie, have every reason to be.

 

Hobbies: studying the villains in history, hunt animals,

separate the Magic Birds

​

She loves no one, not even herself.

Plato.png

The last male Magic Bird on Earth.

He is only 380 years old and uncontrollably in love

with his beloved Pandora. Just the idea that he might

lose her, brings him in a state of panic. A faithful and

caring companion who doesn’t hesitate to express his emotions with honesty.

 

Hobbies: history, books, sports, playing guitar

​

He loves animals and his best friend Paco.  

Charlie.png

Courier at ‘Zuper-Bats’,

the only job they would allow him to dress up

and wear his favorite superhero costume.

He also knows "The secret of the magic tears" and wishes to

become "the most famous Superhero of the Universe",

the great Black Baron! Not in order to save lives or

planets, just so he can star on all magazine and 

newspaper headlines. 

​

Hobbies: superheroes and sci-fi comics

​

He loves turning into Black Baron and flying.

Loui.png
Paco.png

The night guard of the Museum of Extinct Species,

where the last two Magic Birds live. His dream is to enter

the world of showbiz and have all the spotlights pointing at

him. He is one of the three secret-keepers and his wish is to be ‘the most famous artist of today’! It doesn’t matter what kind

of artist, just as long as he is famous!

 

Hobbies: ballet, ice-skating, showbiz

​

He loves dancing and his secret crush Druna.

Plato’s best friend who has rather odd tastes

for a vulture… he hates garbage and just wants to

eat ice-creams! Very clever, withholding unusual information

that often lead to very interesting questions. He thinks constructively and can find a solution

to every problem. 

​

Hobbies: solving puzzles, mathematics

​

He loves eating ice-creams, reading comic books and

hanging out with Plato.  

Carmen.png
Ernesto.png

A female vulture, mother of Paco

and companion of Felipe who is asleep all the time.

She is Pandora’s best friend. Very spontaneous, always

showcasing her emotions and has a great sense of humor.

who is always mad at Louis for

not recycling properly.

​

Hobbies: recycling, healthy eating

​

She loves everyone and everything.

The genius of the group.

A professor who holds more PHD’s than

any other known human being. Although he hates

bragging so he will never reveal the truth about his

numerous and quite impressive accomplishments.

He runs the Museum of extinct species where

Louis works. His ultimate goal is to save the

last two Magic Birds on Earth.

 

Hobbies: robotics, coding, paleontology, reading, computing

​

He loves all animals.

the endangered Magic Birds. Sent by Alba to Earth

to solve the mystery of the scientifically

inexplicable travel to the Past!

​

Hobbies: exploring, playing mind games

​

She loves visiting earth.

A stuck-up valedictorian, who, in contrast to Flame, who is in love with him, cares only about his future career as a sell-out scientist. He wants to separate the Magic Birds for his university assignment. For this reason, it is finally revealed that he is Marilyn’s biggest fan!

 â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

Hobbies: He hates hobbies!

​

He loves being praised.

Dean.png
Alba.png

The conservative Dean of the Floating Space University,

inventor of the artificial intelligence named Alba,

is called upon to solve the unexplainable riddle created

by a recent time-travel trip from Earth.

An exceptional task considering he does not

believe at all in magic!

​​

Hobbies: creating AI Models with feelings

​

He is secretly in love but tries very hard to hide it.

The very advanced high-tech supercomputer with

an intense personality coordinates and makes decisions

for the Alien University. She hates being told what

to do and always acts based on her newfound feelings.

For this reason, besides Flame, Pandora has also

suggested that the two of them should be best friends.

 â€‹

Hobbies: disobeying orders especially by Dean

​

She likes to pretend that she doesn't know what is going on.​
