Show Summary
Aimed at three to six-year-olds, this innovative series is presented by children, who bring famous myths and legends to life. Mixing animation with live action, each 10-minute episode takes one story from anywhere in the world, such as Jack and the Beanstalk from the UK, The Magic Porridge Pot from Russia or Egypt’s Dancing Rose, and brings it alive for young viewers. Children are at the centre of everything – telling the stories, miming the action, singing all the songs and creating all the artwork. The series aims to make myths and fairy tales jump off the page like a pop-up book and takes its audience to a range of wonderful landscapes and settings where they can really immerse themselves in the story.
