Hey Duggee S1-2 | Best Animated Series, Kidscreen 2020

Age: FPB: A | Common Sense Media: 3+

The Squirrels are a group of fun-loving tots who meet at the clubhouse, with Duggee the dog in charge of piling on the fun and games to help them earn different badges on their adventures, from treasure hunts to baking, bouncing to show and tell. Each episode includes a simple little lesson and ends with a warm Duggee hug before the parents arrive to fetch their Squirrels.

This great, simple little show gets it so right. It’s lovely for the littlies, and its clever, silly and sometimes absurd humour will have even the grown-ups giggling. Each episode of this acclaimed British preschool series is just seven minutes long, making it the perfect bite-sized snack time entertainment. If you love Peppa Pig and Pocoyo, Hey Duggee will delight you and your youngster.

Earworm Alert!

The show also gave rise to the “stickiest” song ever. Between the original and the five-minute loop (you better believe it), The Stick Song has had over 12m views on YouTube. There is even a heavy metal cover version, while a parody version, The Kick Song, was done for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Where’s Waldo? S1 | Best New Series, Kidscreen 2020

Age: FPB: A | Common Sense Media: 5+

You may know him as Wally, but you’ll definitely recognise Waldo in his stripy red and white jersey and bobble hat, probably from the hours you’ve spent hunting for him in the picture books and puzzles inspired by this iconic cartoon.

Well, he’s out in the open now in this brand-new series from the Oscar-winning geniuses at DreamWorks Animation, who’ve given us blockbusters like Shrek and How To Train Your Dragon.  

Blaze & The Monster Machines

The animated series has 60 episodes that are 22 minutes each, following the adventures of racing driver AJ and his car Blaze. Besides speeding around Axle City, they have fun learning about science and maths in this show that’s more for the younger crowd.

Super Why

With 103 episodes that run 24 minutes each, there’s enough edutainment here to keep an army of kids learning. What’s it about? Whyatt and his pals in Storybook Village have a secret clubhouse that turns them into education heroes (like Alpha Pig, who’s a master of reading). Their adventures take them around their world, learning while solving puzzles, problems and questions that need answering.

The Planets

Space isn’t just the final frontier, it’s the ultimate science laboratory. This 2019 doccie has five 50-minute episodes filled with the latest technology being used by space organisations around the world. It’s narrated by Zachary Quinto (aka Spock in Star Trek), and you’ll get incredible access to photos, videos, information and a whole lot more than we’d normally know about, as the origins of our solar system are explored in all of space’s glory!

Finding Stuff Out

The best way to learn is to ask questions. Like, what is dirt made of? And that’s what this 13-episode series investigates – kids asking questions and learning while they find out the answers in each of the 21-minute episodes.
