These characters were developed with the aim of creating an animated world that was non-partisan or overtly associated with any particular culture and that would have a universal appeal to children between the ages of four and nine. This was not a calculated or cynical development but an organic growth over a period of several years in which many variations were field tested until the current family came to be.
There are many ways in which these flexible characters can be used; the examples on this website are just a few of the possibilities. Programmes can be developed to deliver any kind of content and we would welcome the opportunity to work with partners to bring their content to life as well as continuing our own work.
