If you haven’t already go check out the trailer for “Iwájú,”dropping on #DisneyPlus Feb. 28! I’m so geeked for this because I remember the @Kugali team when they were a little podcast talking about comics and now they’ve created this incredible original series! Here’s more bout it: Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pan-African Comic Book Entertainment Company Kugali’s all-new series streams on Disney beginning Feb. 28. Set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria, the exciting coming-of-age story follows Tola (voice of Simisola Gbadamosi), a young girl from the wealthy island, and her best friend, Kole (voice of Siji Soetan), a self-taught tech expert, as they discover the secrets and dangers hidden in their different worlds. Kugali filmmakers—including director Olufikayo Ziki Adeola, production designer Hamid Ibrahim and cultural consultant Toluwalakin Olowofoyeku—take viewers on a unique journey into the world of “Iwájú,” bursting with unique visual elements and technological advancements inspired by the spirit of Lagos. Produced by Disney Animation’s Christina Chen with a screenplay by Adeola and Halima Hudson, “Iwájú” also features the voices of Dayo Okeniyi, Femi Branch and Weruche Opia. #theblerdgurl #iwaju #animated #nigerian #naij
