The toy celebrates inventiveness, and Bek, the series&#8217; lead character, is an inventor.<\/p>\n<p>Toon2Tango&#8217;s Jo Daris said, \u201cThe girls were trying to design their own dream toys that they wished their mom and dad would buy them. So, you can\u2019t get more on target than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a remarkable fit; we simply cleaned up the actual drawings done by the girls,\u201d added de Seve, Baboon&#8217;s founder. \u201cThen our comedy team took the bunnies from drawings to so much more: they are adorably squishy, bouncy, huggable critters that happen to have incredible robot powers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut since they were built by a little girl, their programming is hilariously flawed,\u201d commented Reynolds, Baboon&#8217;s head of development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created this series for bridge preschool, with an eye (and two bunny ears) towards zany antics, madcap mayhem and an abundance of silliness,\u201d Vitale said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toon2Tango has teamed up with Baboon Animation to launch the new animated comedy series Bek and the Bunnies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":23286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6250,4843],"class_list":["post-23285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-baboon-animation","tag-toon2tango","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Toon2Tango &amp;
