Preschool
5’ 2D Animation
In Development with Mercury Filmworks
Bunny is an energetic little bumblebee whose need to explore is insatiable. But because he’s so small, it takes a lot of guesswork for him to understand the “big picture”. And his guesses are hilarious. Each morning, he buzzes out of his home, eager to fly into a new adventure with his best buddy, a small worm named Opal. From their tiny perspective, the world is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. And they’re going to figure it out, one piece at a time.
Created by Emmy Award-nominated Director of Hilda, Andy Coyle, this new 2D animated short-form series is a charming preschool series that fosters a love for nature and celebrates the joy of outdoor play. The series draws inspiration from Andy's childhood adventures in the great outdoors of Nova Scotia.
“We are thrilled to embark on this first-time creative collaboration with Turnip + Duck to co-
produce Andy’s enchanting tale. Together, the big-hearted Bunny McBee and his loyal friend
Opal will inspire children everywhere to value friendship and teamwork and to get out and
explore the enchanting world around them – whether that’s a vast forest or their neighbourhood
park,”
