Description
Five Minutes More is the gentle tale of five best friends who live on a beautiful patchwork quilt and take us on wonderful journeys and adventures.
From the familiar world of the child’s bedroom, Faraway the Aardvark, Louisa the Polar Bear, Florrie the Dog, Sam the Monkey and Georgie the Penguin lead us into one of the quilt’s many patches…and another world. In each episode one of the characters takes its turn to narrate a story as three of their friends become actors before our eyes.
The world they create is as likely to be the house next door as it is the Arctic Circle, or the hill beyond your house, or even the deepest, darkest jungle. They might be explorers, princes and princesses, eccentric inventors, avid collectors, magicians, dancers or musicians around whom the storyteller weaves a wonderful tale…
The Magic of Music includes ten wonderful stories from this series that combines dramatic narrative and storytelling with super cute ‘animatronic ‘puppets (based loosely on beanie toys) and puppetry from some of the world’s most accomplished puppeteers including Nigel Plaskitt (Spy Story, Labyrinth, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Lost In Space, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy); and Adam Kronenberg (Raggs, Farscape, Bambaloo, Feral TV). As Seen on ABC Kids.
