We’re delighted to be heading to Cartoon Forum again this year with our latest 2D preschool series Christopher Creature!

Each day, Christopher plays in his garden and encounters a different kind of animal going about their usual business. Christopher offers to help, but they scoff at his ability to do so. “A little boy?! Building a nest?! Not with those wings!” But with the help of a magical tree at the end of the garden, Christopher is able to dress-up and transform into the animal in question and goes off to help them build nests, dig for grub or care for cubs!

Written and created by the amazing Kristina Yee, directed by Carol Freeman, with fabulous artwork by Katie Sherlock and produced by Chris Hees.

Looking forward to sharing more of Christopher’s adventures in the coming weeks!
