About Fruit That Lasts

We produce animation content, games and merchandise to help parents, grandparents, and other caregivers inspire children with lasting wisdom and values by using superior animation and captivating storytelling.

Based in Charleston, SC, we produce high-quality animation through Moondog Animation Studio, combining mainstream entertainment value with a respect of traditional culture and values. Using a family-friendly approach to storytelling, our hope is that these stories will create opportunities for connection through shared experiences that engage multiple generations, and provide an anchor that children can hold onto, as well as a light they will be drawn to.
