CUDDLIES: WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Description:

Four magical creatures that solve everyday dilemmas represent different aspects in a growing toddler's life: contentment, curiosity, hunger and tiredness. Toddlers can relate to their own needs and feelings by identifying with a Cuddly.

KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Good concept for introducing simple concepts about feelings to toddlers. The animated characters are easy to identify, each one is a different color and has a different sound they make. Note that they speak a sort of gibberish that occasionally has an English word in it but mostly they gibber, sigh, groan and mumle. There is a male narrator who speaks excellent English and who guides the viewer through the show. The sets are simple and familiar - i.e.. an outside scene with trees and a blanket spread on the grass where the characters sit. A home with a bathroom that has a sink, a step stool and a mirror. When the character, Tickles figures out that he doesn't need the step stool any longer in order to see himself in the mirror, everyone celebrates.
