The mixed-media comedy, produced by Twt Productions in collaboration with Boom Cymru, aims to boost children\u2019s Welsh language skills.<\/p>\n<p>Twt Productions received development money from BFI\u2019s Young Audiences Content Fund to develop the show, which will target 2- to 5-year-olds who are fluent Welsh speakers and slightly older children who are learning the language.<\/p>\n<p>Siwan Jobbins, managing director of Twt Productions, said: \u201c<em>Annibendod<\/em> will introduce the audience to a life full of adventure, fun and slapstick comedy; each episode will offer the viewers an opportunity to build their linguistic skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile developing the series, I noticed there was no need for complex vocabulary when presenting situations in visual and slapstick ways. As a result, we have created a series that works for children who are fluent speakers, as well as those learning Welsh or are unsure of their language skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angharad Garlick, head of Boom Kids added: \u201cBoom Kids is very happy to work together with Twt Productions on a series which introduces language patterns to a younger audience in the form of comedy. It\u2019s a lovely series, which is sure to appeal to a wider audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sioned Geraint, S4C\u2019s commissioner for children and learners, commented: \u201cAs S4C responds to the government\u2019s target of reaching one million Welsh speakers by 2025, it\u2019s important for us to have children\u2019s content that appeals to fluent Welsh speakers and learners alike in order to make the Welsh language relevant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S4C is developing Annibendod (Messy), a Welsh-language children&#8217;s series slated to air in January 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":27517,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[9475,9476,3801,9477],"class_list":["post-27516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-annibendod","tag-boom-cymru","tag-s4c","tag-twt-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>S4C Preps New Children&#039;s Comedy Series - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"S4C Preps New Children&#039;s Comedy Series - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"S4C is developing Annibendod (Messy), a Welsh-language children&#039;s series slated to air in January 2025.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-05-14T13:51:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-05-14T13:51:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/05\/S4C-Annibendod-0524.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/\",\"name\":\"S4C Preps New Children's Comedy Series - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-05-14T13:51:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-05-14T13:51:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/s4c-preps-new-childrens-comedy-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"S4C Preps New Children&#8217;s Comedy Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
