Format: vertical manhwa motion-comic, English, reverent and warm family tone (all ages). Original retelling in our own words of the traditional Gokul story of the butter pot.
Logline: In the village of Gokul, a mischievous little Krishna and his friends find a way to reach the butter pot hung out of reach, and his mother learns that love is the one thing she cannot scold away.
Tone/treatment: gentle humour, devotion without preaching; Krishna is shown as a playful child with a divine calm in his eyes; no violence; folk-tale narrator opens and closes.
Series idea (after pilot): one self-contained Krishna childhood story per episode (Putana, Kaliya, Govardhan, etc.) with the same cast and style; each about 3 to 5 minutes, then longer arcs.
Respect note: depict the deity with traditional iconography only (blue-toned skin, peacock feather, yellow dhoti); no mockery; check with a knowledgeable reader before publishing.
