Production notes
This CG-animated series for younger viewers follows a group of fun-loving animals on wheels as they explore a unique jungle.
The fast-paced adventure series emphasizes an appreciation of the environment while highlighting pre-literacy skills through the use of road signs and symbols. Part animal, part vehicle, the inhabitants of Jungle Junction, also known as "Wheelers," include Zooter, an energetic pink pig scooter who is the town messenger; her best friend Ellyvan, a cross between an elephant and a van who serves as the jungle delivery service, and the Beetlebugs; the playful kids of the jungle who are always eager to learn.
Each episode follows one of the key characters as they overcome a problem by working with their friends. Much care and consideration is needed to ensure the survival of the jungle, which is a core theme of the show. Jungle Junction is designed to encourage preschoolers to think about their impact on the natural world. Storylines promote positive environmental messages with characters that have an understanding of the fragile nature of their surroundings.
Each 25-minute episode consists of two cartoons.
