Tinga Tinga Tales to Launch on CBeebies

LONDON: The new preschool series Tinga Tinga Tales, from the producer of Charlie and Lola, is to launch on CBeebies this month.

Produced on location in Kenya by Tiger Aspect Productions in conjunction with Homeboyz Entertainment, the show draws upon the talents of local artists and musicians and is computer‐animated using hand‐painted imagery. Tinga Tinga Tales is from Tiger Aspect’s Claudia Lloyd.

Michael Carrington, the controller of CBeebies, said: “When Claudia Lloyd first approached me with the idea for Tinga Tinga Tales I knew it would be perfect for CBeebies. The series is a unique, beautiful production capturing a flavour of Africa and some extraordinarily tall tales. Storytelling is at the heart of what we do, engaging children with characters and tales that will stay with them forever, and Tinga Tinga Tales continues that tradition onCBeebies.”
