Droners is a French animated series that premiered on October 19, 2020. The series is produced by Cyber Group Studios, La Chouette Compagnie and Supamonks Studio, with the participation of TF1, WDR ARD and The Walt Disney Company France, in association with Sofitvcine 6, Sofitvcine 7 and Pictanovo.

Plot[edit]

Droners takes place in the world or ocean planet called TerrAqua – which is 95% covered by water with archipelagos. Team Tiki – Corto, Mouse, Enki, and Oro – need to win the Whale Cup, the most intense drone racing competition of all time. They'll compete against other teenage teams from all over TerrAqua, with most flying their G.E.N.I.E.-powered drones through dangerous territory and avoiding even more dangerous creatures. But failure isn't an option for Team Tiki: the fate of their home island, Nuï, relies on their victory!
