Based on Graeme Base’s beloved picture book, Animalia (2007) turns a dazzling alphabet world into a CG adventure about curiosity, language, and community. Two human kids—Alex and Zoe—are whisked into the city of Animalia, where puns, riddles, and misunderstandings can literally reshape reality. Each episode plays like a diplomatic quest: decode the mix-ups, bridge clashes between wildly different creatures, and restore harmony with wit and teamwork.
What makes the series sing is its love of words—rhymes, jokes, and verbal puzzles power the plot as much as chases and set pieces. The result is a show that feels playful for kids and slyly clever for grown-ups, with gentle messages about listening, empathy, and seeing problems from another species’ point of view. Bright, imaginative worldbuilding and recurring friendships give Animalia lasting charm—an educational fantasy that entertains without preaching.
