Program Name
Kiri and Lou
Hand-crafted in paper and clay and created using traditional stop motion animation from Antony Elworthy (Coraline, Corpse Bride and Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs), KIRI AND LOU invites children to learn about kindness, empathy and how to get along. The 52 x 5 minute series is voiced by Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords, Moana) and Olivia Tennet and is written and directed by feature film director Harry Sinclair. Aimed at 3-6 year olds, its gently humorous storylines will also entertain parents and siblings.
At the heart of the show is the friendship between Kiri, a feisty little dinosaur with overpowering emotions and Lou, a gentle and thoughtful creature, who may seem unlikely best friends. Joined by a diverse group of characters including motherly Pania, who offers advice, sensitive Dalvanius, who disappears completely when he feels shy and Sorry, a small but extremely fast little animal who cares about everyone’s feelings, they navigate a forest of feelings together with laughter, song and adventure.
