This 3D animated series is intended for children 5-7 years old. The 52 episodes will focus on Zip, a charming little girl who can fly, and Saxo, a good boy whose trumpet nose has amazing powers. They have a group of friends of the same age who accompany them on their exciting adventures. Through the adventures of Zip and Saxo, who girls and boys will be able to identify with, children will learn to experience the world and its people, in all their diversity. 

Provided with markers and reference points, rather than restrictions, the viewers will be able to construct their own approach to an open, tolerant and responsible world. Zobora, the planet/island where Zip and Saxo live, is a concentrated version of Earth. It's also a place where the environment and sustainable development are respected. 

Each episode in the series will allow children to make a connection between places and situations experienced in their own lives and the world around them. For instance, when Zip and Saxo go off to discover the seas of Zobora with Papypol, Saxo's grandfather,  the www.zip-saxo.com website will teach them about the seas on Earth, adapted to children and parents, and will offer teachers various educational possibilities.
