Make a kids cartoon seriesone episode at a time
Paste episode one, or the series prompt ChatGPT wrote for your channel. oVideo designs the main characters once, gives each a voice, and animates the episode. For episode two, pick the same saved characters, so the bunny, the robot and the little girl look and sound the same all season.

Why a series grows a channel
Children come back for the same friends
Kids channels grow when children recognise the characters and want the next episode. The hard part with AI is keeping the cast the same from one video to the next; oVideo saves each character and lets you use it again, so episode ten still looks like episode one.
You write
- The series and its main characters
- Each episode’s little adventure
- Who speaks and in which language
- The episode length
oVideo makes
- Characters designed once and saved
- Every scene in the series style
- Voices and music
- One finished episode at a time
How it works
From idea to video in three steps
- 01
Write the idea
Type one line, paste your script or paste the full prompt ChatGPT wrote for you. Pick the style, the language, the length and who speaks.
- 02
Check the storyboard
oVideo writes the scenes, designs the characters and draws each scene. Change any scene, regenerate an image or give each character a voice.
- 03
Create the video
Every scene is animated and voiced, music goes underneath, and you get one finished video to post or edit further.

How to run a cartoon series
- Write a short series bible first: the main characters, their looks, where they live and what each episode is about.
- Keep the same style for the whole season, for example Pixar or 3D Cartoon.
- Reuse the saved characters in every episode instead of describing them again.
- End each episode with a small hook for the next one.
- Short episodes of 1 to 3 minutes are quicker to check and easier for small viewers.
Ideas
Series people make with oVideo
- Adventure shows. A rescue team of friends who solve one small problem in every episode.
- Learning shows. The same teacher character with a new colour, number or habit each week.
- Comedy shorts. Talking fruit or vegetables in a running story, one part at a time.
- Shows in other languages. The same episode narrated in Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, German, French or Russian.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
- How do I keep my cartoon characters consistent across episodes?
- Describe each character the same way in every episode (colours, clothes, one special feature) or start from the same photos. oVideo designs the character from that description and keeps the look identical in every scene, so episode 5 looks like episode 1.
- How do I make a cartoon series for my kids YouTube channel with AI?
- Write episode one or paste your series prompt, pick a style such as Pixar or 3D Cartoon, and oVideo builds the storyboard with the characters. When the episode is done, start the next one and pick the same saved characters so the cast stays the same.
- Will the characters look the same in every episode?
- Yes. Characters are saved after you create them and can be chosen again in the next story, so their look stays the same from episode to episode.
- Can each character have its own voice?
- Yes. Pick a voice for each character, let a narrator tell the story, or use both.
- Can I use my own character designs?
- Yes. Upload a picture of your character and oVideo uses it as the reference for every scene.
- How long can an episode be?
- 15 to 60 seconds for Shorts, or 3 and 5 minutes for a full episode.
- Which languages can the episodes be in?
- English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Arabic and Russian.
- Can the characters sing a theme song?
- No. oVideo voices the characters and adds music underneath, but it does not sing lyrics.
- Can I post the episodes on YouTube?
- Yes, the videos are yours. Mark them as made for kids when you upload and label realistic AI content where YouTube asks for it.
- How much does an episode cost?
- You see the storyboard before paying. Making every scene and the final video needs the Creator plan, from $40 a month ($30 billed yearly); the price depends on the length and shows before you create.
