Production notes

Combined 2D animation and stills.

This pre-school series consisted of 234 cartoons which could be combined into 78 half-hour episodes.

Based on children's books by illustrator Ben Wicks and his daughter Susan.

Katie is an exuberant five-year-old girl, teetering on the brink of starting school. She spends her time learning, exploring, and explaining things to her new-found friend, the small, pink and inquisitive Orbie. Together, they learn about life, more often than not with Katie laughingly having to stop and explain to Orbie the proper way of doing things on earth.
