Lost and Found

Wow I've been stalling on making this for a long time... but I'm finally gonna do it! Let me give you some context first, this is not primarily a written story. It's more of a collage of ideas and concepts merged together, put simply a way for me to get ideas down that might make sense in my head, but not so much when put into action. What I'm trying to say is, this idea has been lingering in my head for a while now and I decided I wanted to make it into an animated cartoon. However I feel like by getting it into writing I'll be able to smooth the rough edges and actually get a grasp on this world that I aim to eventually animate. It's not supposed to necessarily be good in writing form, that's not the main goal here. So don't expect anything amazing, ok? It's the characters, world and feel I want to get right here. So expect it to be an evolving wip, nothing is cannon until it is in its final form; an animation. Ahh I've been blabbering on for a while now, lets move onto what its actually about!

So, this story revolves around one concept; where do our characters go when they are forgotten, abandoned, no longer used or simply pushed to the side?
The Void. Empty, desolate. A waiting room- Purgatory if you will, of which is inescapable.. unless they are remembered.
However, there is one way out. A Gate, a grand exit back into the other side. But its not that easy, to be allowed passage the only way out is to be remembered by the creator. But is that the only way?
