Animated series Tree Fu Tom makes its US debut on the pre-school channel Sprout today. David Tennant voices Twigs, an acorn sprite who is best friend to titular hero Tom.
Tree Fu Tom is an exciting and inspiring CG animated show
about the amazing adventures of a young boy called Tom who, with the power of
‘movement magic’ called ‘Tree Fu’, can transform into a tiny but mighty magical
super hero and travel to a wondrous enchanted kingdom called Treetopolis that exists
in a tree in his back garden.
The show features engaging adventures that combine
innovative elements of action, fantasy and magic, coupled with unique
interactive physical activity. Children are brought into the magical
action through special movements designed to help their motor skill
development. When Tom performs a special sequence of action movements, he
creates Tree Fu Magic that transforms him into a superhero.
The movements in Tree Fu Tom were designed by child
development specialists to help stimulate the progression of physical activity
in preschool children. The show was developed to aid all preschool children
with their motor skill development, including those suffering from Dyspraxia –
a condition that impairs the organization of movement and fine motor
skills.
Tree Fu Tom originally launched in the UK on CBeebies. It was the
highest rated program on CBeebies in 2012 for children aged 4-6 and has also received two
BAFTA Children’s Awards nominations.
