The Mighty Jungle (Canadian TV series) (original) (raw)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2008 Canadian TV series or program

The Mighty Jungle is a Canadian puppet series created by Jeff Rosen and Jason Hopley. The narrative of the story is largely crafted by a group of preschoolers who appear in live-action segments interspersed between puppet-acted scenes. It is co-produced by Halifax Film[1] and Decode Entertainment,[2] both DHX Media companies (now as WildBrain),[3] and produced in association with CBC Television.[4] The series is broadcast in Canada on CBC Television on the Kids' CBC programming block,[5] and in the United States on Sprout. In Latin America, it aired on Playhouse Disney in Spanish as Había una vez... en la selva poderosa.

Babu the meerkat, along with his friends Bruce the gorilla and Rhonda the rhinoceros, explore many of the same issues that very young children face, such as wanting to win, feeling silly, or not knowing how much is "too much" of a good thing. As the story illustrating the day's theme is played out, the narrative occasionally pauses so that the live-action preschoolers can suggest a course of action for the puppet characters to take, and often the puppets will react to the advice they receive. Sometimes, there may even be a song related to a part of an episode's story.
