ABOUT THE SHOWS
dirtgirlworld is a music-filled series which mixes live action, animation and photo-collage to explore nature. Dirtgirl's backyard is full of bizarre insects, underground tunnels and performing stunt bugs, and together with a host of larger-than-life characters, she inspires four-to-six-year-olds to have fun in their gardens.

Grandpa In My Pocket is a comedy drama featuring a Grandpa with a magic shrinking cap that only his grandson Jason knows about. When he puts the cap on, Grandpa shrinks and creates comic mayhem, but with teamwork, Grandpa and Jason always manage to save the day.
