The series developed from our first Urban Tails pilot episode “Funky Foxes” made for the RTÉ short scheme in 2016.
The series concept was launched at Cartoon Forum and was nominated for BEST PILOT at Cartoons on the Bay. Urban Tails’ second pilot “Mista C-Lion” was launched at MIP 2017 in partnership with Screen Ireland. Both pilots can be seen below.
A magazine programme that makes science easy to understand for anyone with an inquiring mind. From their cabin in the woods, Max Bird, Cécile Djunga and Mathieu Duméry explore a theme that fascinates young and old alike.
In each episode, the members of the "Questions" club — Astra, Zhenya the hedgehog, Jan the bluebird and Bonya the snow troll — receive a video question from young viewers, and from that moment their adventures in search of an answer begin. Having expressed a number of ridiculous hypotheses, the characters test them experimentally, going on an incredible journey through space or time: to different countries, to the past and the future, to digital space, into space or underground. And in the end, they always get to the truth and record a video response to an inquisitive viewer's question.
