DinoCity's theme is focused on family, for animation it is an evergreen theme, and the dinosaur image in this project is very pleasing. Beardy Bodo is a new popular science project, the plot is not stiff, and even has some unexpected humor, this is a new popular science way, which is more acceptable to children. We believe that these two projects will make due achievements in China,” - comments Joy Culture Media CEO Li Yan. DinoCity is an original preschool series, which portrays a family of dinosaurs in a perfectly urban setting. Little Ricky and his elder sister Tyra manage to turn most everyday situations into something quite extraordinary. Anything can become a new game, a new adventure for these kids. Their parents will often gladly join them in their playfulness and follow their crazy reasoning, in order to help them channel all that energy and imagination… and to make sure they do not turn the house upside down!

Beardy Bodo is a charming new animated show from the creative team at Riki Group. The lead character, who doesn’t speak any foreign language and can’t tell Australia from The North Pole, will guide children to different places of interest. The viewer will learn from the series about geography, culture and history of different nations and important tips on what to do while traveling (why do you need a ticket to go by train, how to pack a bag or how to behave in the airplane). As the show’s tagline promises, Beardy Bodo “knows nothing, but he’ll teach you everything!” Beardy Bodo was in official competition selection of the highly acclaimed Chicago International Children’s Film Festival and got the top award at CHINH INDIA KIDS FILM FESTIVAL.
