Production notes

High-definition 3D animation.

The FARMkids concept is based around the irony of farm animals who know nothing about living in the country.

They are a bunch of fast lane pampered city animals who live a star-studded life in a popular nursery petting zoo, but their lives take a funny unexpected turn when they suddenly get relocated. To top it off, their new home is nothing like one would expect from a simple old farm.

At its core, this series is aiming at twisting and repackaging a strong and timeless farm theme into a fast, edgy comedy.

Dude Ranch, the FARMkids' new home, is a place where the old, modern and twilight zone elements meet to make this a way-out-of-the-ordinary environment.

This is not the average city slickers on the Old MacDonald type of situation; FARMkids represents a twisted and very entertaining approach to a time-tested theme.
