Combining live action with animation, Tellytales ensures that children are at the heart of the action. Within the series, children play all the characters through mime; tell all the tales; sing all the songs; and create all the artwork. And in each episode the tale or legend comes from a different country.

From the Emperor And The Nightingale; to the tale of The Snake Charmer; and Jack And The Beanstalk; to The Magic Porridge Pot, this series looks at different stories from all over the world, teaching children using fun; colourful animation; live action; and song.
