Ludovic: The Winter Gift

Ludovic: The Winter Gift

A remake of the classic short, originally a script for Canada's Treehouse TV. I only got up to the bit where Ludovic had a nightmare where he was left alone in the snow, but I'll do more next time. In the meantime, I've seen that Ludovic was released in the UK, along with a few other shorts:

It contains another short I love, The Dingles. Watch it down here:

School Of Roars Activity Time - Puppet Show - Making Puppets

Now that the little monsters at the School Of Roars have made puppets for their puppet show, why don't you make some puppets of your very own? Warning, this may require adult supervision:

Fireman Sam Is Back!

He's the hero next door, and the one we all adore - in stop motion, that is - is back! I didn't know what I was expecting when I went onto iPlayer. What next, Postman Pat? The original Teletubbies, with its guest stars and everything? Tweenies? Wait and see.

For now, check out Fireman Sam on iPlayer:

It'll Be The Best Christmas Ever!

12 months ago on Bluey...

And now, just when you thought there won't be another Christmas adventure for Bluey, here is the big surprise!

It's just the kind of family Christmas-themed episode that'll make you want to shout "Merry Christmas, time to open the presents!" From what I found out by watching the trailer, Bluey and her family will spend Christmas opening their presents, swimming in Uncle Stripe's pool and having a lovely Christmas dinner round the table. Y'know what, Aussies, this is your new Christmas tradition, because the name of the Christmas tradition is Christmas Swim - not Adult Swim, but Bluey! If I were Australian, this would be my new Christmas tradition, and I would write a story based around it.

Speaking of, this Christmas Swim thing has inspired a new 'Hood story named 'The True Meaning Of Familistmas'. In it, Izzy, Trafalgar, Jeremiah, Fury, Gabi, William, Ryan and Amy are invited round to Nana's house to spend Christmas with Bluey and her family. They are curious to know whether people share the same holiday traditions every year, so Bluey tells them about her friends' own traditions, which they share with their families.

I'll do the story November next year, so be on the lookout for it! By the way, if you don't know what 'Familistmas' is, it's a mix of 'Family' and 'Christmas', and I'll be doing a Blueycap - a recap of Bluey in 2020 - in two Tuesdays. Be on the lookout 'til then! Wackadoo!
