Each episode is a mixture of live-action nature footage and animated characters, giving an animal&#8217;s eye view on nature documentaries and presenting facts about the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>The series was funded by Screen Ireland, RT\u00c9jr and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the support of incentives for the Irish Film Industry provided by the Government of Ireland. The series first aired on RT\u00c9jr in the Republic of Ireland in 2019 and 2020, with further episodes due to air before the end of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Jetpack\u2019s CEO, Dominic Gardiner, said: \u201cWe love a genuinely unique and incredibly funny idea\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what <em>Critters TV<\/em> delivers. It really draws on the popularity of shows like <em>Gogglebox<\/em> but gives a hilarious spin that kids love. It\u2019s great for co-viewing and will provide quality entertainment for families across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turnip &amp; Duck\u2019s Colm Tobin added: \u201cAs a writer-led studio we\u2019re always looking for that sweet spot between comedy and education, trying to laugh kids clever if you will; and we feel we\u2019ve really struck a chord with <em>Critters TV<\/em>. Animals watching animals is just a funny concept, and when you combine this sketch comedy approach with amazing wildlife footage, we believe it\u2019s a format that can entertain and educate kids (and adults!) all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jetpack Distribution has taken on the worldwide rights for Turnip &#038; Duck\u2019s cartoon spoof animal documentary Critters TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":21353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[958],"class_list":["post-21352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jetpack-distribution","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
