Droners is a science-fiction action-adventure children's animated series created by Pierre de Cabissole and Sylvain Dos Santos, and directed by Grégory Leterrier.
Droners takes place on an ocean planet called TerrAqua, which is 95% covered by water, with the rest being archipelagos and atolls.
It follows Corto, Enki, Mouse and Oro, a drone racing team known as the Tikis, from the island of Nuï, on a mission to save the future of their archipelago home, Terraqua, which is being threatened by marine submersion.
To save it, they must win the toughest drone racing competition in the world, the Whale Cup, where the machines are powered by eel-like entities called G.E.N.I.E.s.
[5][6] The story had been expanded with a three-volume series of manga books titled Droners: Tales of Nuï, written by Sylvain Dos Santos and David Nicolas.
