"You have a wrinkly tortoise on your bed."
"We start from an outline of a rough story and storyboard it out to tell the story more visually, which in my opinion adds to the humor. The characters are also more driven in their personalities than many kids shows for this demographic. No doubt it will push some comfort zones, but when I watch my 4 year old son openly laugh at certain cartoons he watches, I want my show to do that, and give a spark to learning about our world."
