Being the lively and imaginative lot that they are, these neighbors tend to turn day-to-day activities into one-of-a-kind adventures.

Since coming to reside there, The Twelve have added immeasurable zest to daily life in that locale. The streets are now filled with laughter, and good-natured hijinks abound.

This light-hearted comic romp, designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12, is set in a lovely wooded wonderland in rural Northeast China.

Too bad for Vick-two strapping brown-bear brothers are determined to thwart his plans and send him packing. Together, Briar and Bramble Bear go about sabotaging every effort of that sneaky logging-crew foreman-and always with hilarious results! Boonie Bears chronicles the lengths to which the nefarious Logger Vick will go to bring down as many trees as time, equipment, and greed will allow.

McBroom, Sgt. Rusty, Extras (voice) - 52 episodes / Staff Writer Wouldn't it be great fun for an animated series to focus on the lively workings of the insect world, just as children started exploring the wonders of nature for themselves? Brainy Bubbly Bug Buddies, Fantawild's new 104-episode series, spins charming tales from the woods to the wetlands, spotlighting a bustling colony of creepy-crawlies-and the cheerfully troublesome frog they count as neighbor and friend. Amid the insect-adventures, audiences will get a bug's-eye view of the habits and habitats of actual insects of many kinds, and will learn how these creatures thrive in their environments. Imagine children everywhere sitting down to be entertained, and getting up with a new understanding of the world around them! In Brainy Bubbly Bug Buddies, characters thrive in a lush wetland paradise. Among its inhabitants are Bartle Bee, the fencing-master bumblebee; Flutterby, the elegant butterfly; Strobe and Sparkle, the heart-of-gold firefly brothers; and McBroom, the hardest-working beetle in the land. The Marsh is always buzzing with activity, and little viewers will be captivated by the lively blend of action and discovery to be found in its colorful environs. Our exoskeletal heroes bring their collective skills and ingenuity to bear on life's challenges in The Marsh, and in the end, they are rewarded for their efforts.

Regular visits to The Marsh will delight and intrigue, all while nurturing children's budding quest for knowledge-and imbuing them with a healthy respect for life in the natural realm.
