Captain Beaver Tail and the Northern Defenders

A proposal for an Animated Feature Film with the plan of it morphing into a half-hour animated comedic television series, showcasing the victories, struggles and occasional defeats of Canada's foremost superhero team. Its main character Doug Gould, aka Captain Beaver Tail, is a young Mi'kmaq shapeshifter with the power to change into a human/beaver hybrid. Whenever Captain Beaver Tail is needed, young Doug calls upon his animal spirit by saying, "Gopit Badi" (beaver form) and he is transformed into the strongest biological being on the planet. But despite his immense strength, Captain Beaver Tail struggles under the pressures of being a superhero, fitting in with the diverse and rambunctious group of members making up the Northern Defenders and maybe his most important battle; fighting his own issues of self-confidence stemming from being so different than the rest of the world. Its super-powered high octane entertainment with a message aimed for ten and up - and of course the still young at heart.
