PBS KIDS NEW SERIES SPLASH AND BUBBLES

The date has been announced for the premiere of the new PBS KIDS series SPLASH AND BUBBLES from the Jim Henson Company and Herschend Company for November 23, 2016.

This new animated series SPLASH AND BUBBLES uses ground-breaking digital puppetry technology, to teach children about marine biology and ocean science that builds social-emotional skills needed to help kids discover the interconnectivity among all living creatures, while creating an understanding of the variety of life that exists under the sea, fostering an appreciation for the biodiversity in our ocean.

Splash and Bubbles is created by John Tartaglia and is designed to encourage kids ages 4-7 to explore the natural undersea world. Developed with an advisory panel of top marine biologists, digital innovators and educators, SPLASH AND BUBBLES is grounded in a marine biology curriculum that focuses on themes of diversity, individuality, interconnectedness and the celebration of learning and discovery.

SPLASH AND BUBBLES follows the adventures of Splash, a yellow fusilier fish who has migrated all over the ocean before settling down in Reeftown, where he befriends Bubbles, a Mandarin dragonet whose vivid orange and electric blue colouring matches her colourful personality. Until Splash came along, Bubbles and most of the other Reeftown residents had no idea what lived beyond the cozy confines of their coral walls. Together, Splash, Bubbles and their friends explore the world’s undersea habitats, make new friends and learn about the many different ways life looks and lives in the ocean, celebrating the importance of diversity along the way.

Online content related to this series, including games, apps, parents and educators resources will be available beginning in Fall 2016.
