“BUDDI” IS HERE! MESMERIZING NEW PRE-SCHOOL SERIES HITS SCREENS WORLDWIDE ON MARCH 20, 2020
Keith Chapman, of Paw Patrol, Bob the Builder and Fifi & the Flowertots fame, has turned his attention to the world of early pre-school for the first time by joining forces with Unanico Studios and series creator, Jason Jameson, to collaborate on Netflix’s new animated preschool series BUDDI. The show is aimed at the early pre-school audience, largely underserved since the iconic success of Teletubbies and Baby Einsteins. In an uncertain world, the serene, feel-good, and fun adventures of BUDDI will soothe children, bringing a moment of calm and delight.
Launching on Netflix worldwide on March 20, 2020, BUDDI is set in a beautifully designed, sensory world of imagination and exploration.
BUDDI features five friends or “Buddis”, called Iso, Cini, Vihi, Puna, and Kelta, each distinctively bright and colorful in their own way. The Buddis rejoice in their differences as friends, and explore the nuances of their natural world, caring for their environment as they go along. Together, they discover the wonder of snow, sand, rainbows and mud-fights, and meet many fascinating creatures that test their senses and inhabit the landscape of their home, Buddi Kotti.
BUDDI is magical, spirited, comical, and above all a completely unique experience for global pre-schoolers and their parents. Children will love being immersed in this creative, vibrant world.
BUDDI emphasizes emotional intelligence and feelings through the imaginative use of music and sound. The melodies of BUDDI showcase homemade instruments, so kids can play along to their favorite song.
BUDDI holds universal appeal because the Buddis express themselves with giggles, squeaks, and coos, which transcend nationalities and cultures, allowing the characters to connect instantly with everyone.
