Presenting BUMPADOO! A 10 episode preschool series for @tvokids. This is Stop Motion Department’s first animated TV series production, and we couldn’t be more proud of it. Produced by @turtleboxproductions, and created by @carmalbano and @exploitsofceleste

Watch all 10 episodes (in Canada) on TVOKids’ YouTube page.

LiLi was built by hand, one tiny frame at a time by @stopmotiondept.

We believe storytelling can be slow and still full of joy, wonder, and fun. Thoughtful pacing helps little minds absorb big ideas, and that’s what LiLi is all about.

Here’s a sneak peek at how she came to life! 💛
