Toot The Tiny Tugboat (52 x 11) is a colourful preschool animated series based on the book ‘Toot and Pop!’ by Sebastien Braun.
The show follows the adventures of Toot, an eager and ambitious little tugboat in his first year of service. Under the watchful eye of Lenny the Lighthouse and his special cast of friends, Toot’s job is to lead big boats into the harbour and rescue ships in distress. However, Toot is prone to mistakes and sometimes he neglects his duties in favour of fun. Luckily, he learns very quickly and is always keen to get back on board with his cheerful shout of ‘Heave Ho! Let’s Go!’
The nautical theme flowing throughout the series is beautifully combined with aspirational stories that promote imagination, community and learning. The series has being shown on Channel 5’s Milkshake, S4C, Cartoonito and Netflix.
All the series animation was completed by the Cloth Cat team in co-production with producers Lupus Films, the award-winning creators of ‘The Snowman & The Snowdog’.
Cloth Cat also developed and released the official Toot website and a number of web games and apps to accompany the series.
