Ratz, provides some inspiration

This website promoting a french animated television series titled "Ratz" has a real fun look to it and might be a style worth considering for the the Brunswick animation project.

The simplicity, bright colors, and overly exaggerated character design would provide some great eye candy perfect for the 8-12 year old demographic Brunswick wishes to target. From a production standpoint, something like this would be easily doable in flash alone reducing steps in the workflow saving time and expense.
