It's a Big, Big World takes children into the rainforest, high atop the World Tree, home to a diverse group of animal characters. There they'll accompany Snook, an energetic giant tree sloth, and his pals —including Smooch and Winslow, rambunctious marmoset siblings, Madge, an ancient she-turtle with the map of the world on her back, and many others— on adventures and investigations of the world around them.
Created in "Shadowmation," a process that combines puppetry with computer animation, puppets (some controlled by up to three puppeteers) are filmed against a blue background and then dropped into a richly colored, computer-generated world. All this is set to the beat of dance rhythms from around the world—the kind of catchy, familiar music that kids and their parents will enjoy singing along to.
For ages 3 to 6.
Series Goals
The program's guiding principle is that science isn't a bunch of facts, it's a process of discovery. Kids learn that there is a lot that they can discover about science, animals, geography, and the big, big world around them.
