Hands up if you discovered CBeebies' brand new show Cloudbabies when it hit the screens for the first time yesterday ! We were given access to a screener episode and it was a big hit with all the Madhouse Mini-testers.
In case you missed it, Cloudbabies is an animated pre-school series about four
enchanting, childlike characters, Baba Pink, Baba Blue, Baba Yellow and
Baba Green whose job it is to look after the sky and their Sky Friends,
Sun, Moon, Rainbow, Fuffa Cloud and Little Star. (Fuffa Cloud featured heavily in the episode we watched so Pierre soon started saying "Effa Cloud" - I'm sure I'll get black looks when he says that in public and everyone mistakenly thinks I've been complaining about the weather and the "effing clouds"!)
CBeebies explain : "The Cloudbabies live together with Bobo White, a mischievous little Sky Imp, in a house
on a big fluffy cloud. Every morning, they jump on their Skyhorsies (why not Skyhorses ? It doesn't change the sound much and at least they learn the right spelling !) and
begin their day's work of looking after the sky.
The series
promotes caring for others and the world around us and also introduces
children to notions such as day and night, sun and moon, rainbow and the
stars."
The Madhouse Mini-testers loved the bright colours and the friendly, cute characters. As an adult, I also love the values promoted - friendship, working together, sharing. Lots of valuable life lessons to learn there !
The series is made up of 52 ten-minute episodes. I foresee a whole range of Cloudbabies toys and accessories being on the Christmas wishlists here at The Madhouse later in the year ! They're on every day this week, so if you want a sneaky peek, here's the episode guide :
On
Monday, Fuffa tells each Cloudbaby that the door needs a new coat of
paint. Can Rainbow come up with a solution to their colourful
squabbles?
In
Tuesday’s show, a rumbly noise stops Little Star from twinkling. Can
the Cloudbabies solve the mystery so Little Star can twinkle again?
Moon
is hungry on Wednesday and the Cloudbabies have run out of Mooonrock.
Can they find some in time to feed Moon so she can be full?
Rainbow
gets himself in a knot on Thursday which means he cannot take part in
the star flinging so there will be no stars in the sky. Can the
Cloudbabies find a way of unravelling him?
All the Cloudbabies are sneezing on Friday, but why? Could it be the mysterious yellow cloud from the Fluffigold flowers?

ReplyDeleteIt wasn't on for the first time last week, it debuted a couple of months back. To the hardcore CBeebies fanatics (and their long-suffering parents!) this is old news!
It's a great show though.
That was based on info sent through with the screener but maybe you know better ... ?
DeleteSounds interesting. And 10 minutes is just about right for my son's attention span.
