The children's television series based on Animalia (Graeme Base, Puffin) will air on Channel 10 on Sunday November 11 at midday.
Described by producer Ewan Burnett as 'the most ambitious children's series ever produced in Australia', the series is aimed at six to nine year olds but executive producer Murray Pope hopes ‘the show's engaging stories, cheerful humour and strong cast of appealing characters' will be enjoyed by adults as well.
Base is an executive producer on the series.
