About this deal

Tingatinga art was originally painted on masonite tile, using bicycle paint, and due to its popularity with tourists became known as "airport art". Lion often uses his roar to calm things down or attract the attention of the other animals, often in Swahili, followed by English. If Lion is called in to help out with a problem, it must be serious. Lion shares his wisdom but he gets annoyed when animals have behaved badly and done things at odds with nature's way. You may think you know the reason why Elephant has a long trunk, or why Tortoise has a broken shell... but as brand new pre-school series, Tinga Tinga Tales, is soon to reveal – the reason for each is a whole other story! Tinga Tinga Tales was also broadcast in the United States. Some characters are dubbed in Disney Character Voices International to give them American accents. The series had its first U.S. premiere on The Disney Channel. Although the series aired on The Disney Channel, the series ended its run on September 2011. The series also aired reruns on Disney Junior: The Channel. However, the series ended its airing on May 2014.

Snakes Are Sinister: Averted with Snake and Puff Adder, who are both pleasant to everyone around them despite being their respective species. Puff Adder in particular doesn't like being treated as The Dreaded to all the other animals because he is a snake, to the point that he Took a Level in Jerkass as a way to cope with the hate and fear he receives. It only took Camal's advice after saving Puff Adder to make the latter mellow out from his cold behavior and become openly friendly to everyone else. Every Episode Ending: Each episode ends with Monkey Red saying "And [event that was pivotal to episode but not the main focus of it]? Well, that's a whole other story!". Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All of the episodes follow the pattern "Why [Animal] [Action]" or "Why [Animal] Is [Adjective]". Produced on location in Kenya by Tiger Aspect Productions in conjunction with Homeboyz Entertainment, the show draws upon the inspiring talent of local artists and musicians and is expertly computer-animated using beautiful, hand-painted imagery.Based on the traditional tales from Africa, the show relies on the stories of why animals have gained abilities. An example is like "Why do flamingos stand on one leg?" or "Why does the lion roar?", etc. Expository Theme Tune: The theme song explains how the land of Tinga Tinga has alot of stories to share. Breaking the Fourth Wall: Monkey talks to the audience in the beginning of the end of every episode. Mischief-Making Monkey: Baboon is quite a prankster. The other Monkeys not so much, although they also have their moments.

Michael Carrington, Controller of CBeebies, said: "When Claudia Lloyd first approached me with the idea for Tinga Tinga Tales I knew it would be perfect for CBeebies. The series is a unique, beautiful production capturing a flavour of Africa and some extraordinarily tall tales. Storytelling is at the heart of what we do, engaging children with characters and tales that will stay with them forever, and Tinga Tinga Tales continues that tradition on CBeebies." Notes to Editors Lion (voice by Patrice Naiambana): He's well known as the king of Tinga Tinga since he found his roar. The "Aardvark" episode has this. Firstly, Mama Cheetah is teaching Aardvark how to hunt an Impala, despite impalas being just as sapient as any other animal in Tinga Tinga. Also, in the same episode, Bat says he likes eating mosquitos, despite Mosquito being a character. Somewhere, a Herpetologist Is Crying: Crocodile swims with motions of his feet, while Real Life crocodiles use their tails.It takes nine months to complete an episode from storyboard to final music. Each animator produces approximately 30 seconds a week. There is nothing more important than community and friendship in Tinga. There are good animals and bad animals, grumpy animals and patient animals, water animals and land animals, tall animals, short animals, loud animals and shy animals – but they all have their role to play. Big personalities for big characters, running jokes, catchphrases and lots of music. In the "Skunk" episode, Baboon gives some "smelly fruit" to Skunk as a prank, which gives him a stinky fart. Furry Confusion: The flies and termites are non-sapient, despite other insects, such as ants, bees, mosquitos and even fleas all being sapient. Bat Out of Hell: Like all the animals, Bat is very cute, but he originally acted as hellish bat for the other animals as he would scare them for fun.
