Patchwork Pals
by Angela Steffen
Series, 52 x 4 min, 2D animation, aimed at children from two to four
Director Angela Steffen developed a special concept for this cartoon series. The basic frame is a patchwork quilt covered with animal figures that come to life. They’re a happy and lively bunch, but occasionally one of them faces a little problem: the pig doesn’t want to shower, the lion can’t roar anymore, the polar bear sweats, and the beaver has a loose tooth. The other animals try to help and soon life on the patchwork quilt is fine again. In every episode, the young viewers meet the familiar animals and discover something new about the relationships among them. It is a self-contained social system in an easily understandable framework. There’s room for all, whether they like to take mudbaths, juggle cheese balls, sing off-key, or have fleas. With empathy and acceptance of the others, living together is possible – at least on the patchwork quilt.
Each of the 52 episodes features another hero. They are, in the order of appearance: Patchwork Chicken, Patchwork Fish, Patchwork Bee, Patchwork Fox, Patchwork Lion, Patchwork Seal, Patchwork Monkey, Patchwork Pig, Patchwork Sheep, Patchwork Polar Bear, Patchwork Donkey, Patchwork Sloth, Patchwork Koala, Patchwork Elephant, Patchwork Frog, Patchwork Dog, Patchwork Mole, Patchwork Mouse, Patchwork Beaver, the Patchwork Bear, Patchwork Rhino, Patchwork Owl, Patchwork Ram, Patchwork Bird, Patchwork Moth, Patchwork Egg, Patchwork Chick , Patchwork Bison, Patchwork Cat, Patchwork Rabbit, Patchwork Hummingbird, Patchwork Squirrel, Patchwork Clam, Patchwork Spider, Patchwork Penguin, Patchwork Hedgehog, Patchwork Gecko, Patchwork Seahorse, Patchwork Tarsier, Patchwork Caterpillar, Patchwork Flamingo, Patchwork Tiger, Patchwork Butterfly, Patchwork Starfish, Patchwork Fly, Patchwork Anteater, Patchwork Vulture, Patchwork Snail, Patchwork Crocodile, Patchwork Fleas, Patchwork Ladybird, Patchwork Snake
