The idea behind this project is to not only give a tribute to the beloved series but also create a series which will entertain and teach at the same time.

‘Content is practically being consumed on a daily basis by young children. The problem is that they are faced with very limited content in Maltese, especially cartoons, when they do so.’

Produced in a 2D hand drawn animation style, the series will feature subtitles for all those watching to read and thus boost the fluency in the language.

Turi Animation Studio have been working on this project for over a year. With trust handed by the Arts Council Malta, a team of 5 people are immensely excited to bring this project to life.
