Since launching on ABC Kids late 2022 families have fallen in love with this charming and otherworldly preschool series, Beep and Mort, which tells the story of two best friends from different worlds, solving their daily dilemmas and unexpected challenges through invention, play and adventure.
ABC Children’s Early Childhood Education Producer, Laura Stone says, “Children’s voices bring many of the loveable personalities to life, while themes explored in each episode encourage social and emotional wellbeing, a strong sense of belonging and learning through inquiry-based play and teamwork.”
Based on Windmill Theatre Company’s award-winning theatre show, Beep, this new series explores the ways the organic and the technological can work together and, at its heart, is a series about empathy, community, and the enduring value of friendship.
Windmill Pictures producer, Kaye Weeks says, “It’s very kind content. We really wanted to put something out into the world at this time that’s about kindness.”
