Production notes
Based on the Wide Eye book-based early learning program, which has been sold in over 30 countries.
Targeted at children aged 3 to 6 and promoted in association with The Pre-School Learning Alliance, this series is set in the magical world of the Natterjack Forest, home to a delightful cast of unusual and memorable animal characters.
Little ones everywhere will revel in the adventures of such endearing creations as the lovable baby owl Little Hoot; his best friend Flea; the playful Natterjack toads; 99 the dozy but lovable centipede; and arch mischief-maker wily Komodo Dragon and his son Baby Komodo. Together they dream their dreams, learn life's little lessons and are kept safe and sound under the watchful gaze of their guardian owl, Wide Eye.
The programs are theme-driven. Each episode deals with a social message or development topic relevant to the pre-school child, be it friendship, sharing, cultural differences or bullying.
The series features voiceovers from such star names as Jane Horrocks ("Absolutely Fabulous," "Little Voice") and Anton Rodgers ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels").
