Don't Eat the Neighbours is
an off-the-wall new comedy about Rabbit, a super-cool
single parent, living in a semi-detached house,
and his neighbor Wolf who feels it's his obligation
to try to eat him! Fortunately, Wolf never quite
gets the hang of the hunting thing, and fast-thinking
Rabbit always manages to elude Wolf's evil schemes.
Then there's the younger generation. Lucy, Rabbit's
smart and sparky 9-year old daughter is friends
with Wolf's couch potato sons, Simon and Barry.
They're much more interested in the concerns of
modern kids than their ancestors' primitive and
instinctive pursuits of hunting and foraging.
Adding a contemporary twist to the age-old rivalries
between neighbors as well as the conflict between
generations, Don't Eat the Neighbours
is madcap family comedy at its best.
Don't Eat the Neighbours features puppets
and computer graphics created by Neal Scanlon
(Babe, 101 Dalmatians) as well as the
voice talents of Simon Callow (Shakespeare
in Love, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and
comedian Patrick McKenna (Traders, The Red
Green Show).
Flipper and Lopaka
Flipper, the clever lovable dolphin, has held
a place in our hearts - not to mention our TV
and movie screens - since 1964. Now, in the animated
series Flipper and Lopaka, a whole new
world is opened up, with new friendships, new
rivalries, exotic new locations, and exciting
new adventures, both above and below the sea.
Flipper takes on these new adventures with his
friend Lopaka, a young Polynesian boy. On dry
land Lopaka is like any other 11 year-old boy,
but underwater he can understand and speak the
language of sea creatures.
Together, the friends visit Flipper's home, the
magical, watery realm of Quetzo, and continually
work to foil the plans of Dexter, a megalomaniac
Octopus and his snaky sidekick Serge. Along the
way, they are helped by Flipper's underwater pals
- Puffy the blowfish, Ray the manta ray and Otty
the otter - as well as Lopaka's family and fellow
islanders. These affable allies are more than
a match for Dexter and his henchman.
What About Mimi?
Savvy 11 year-old Mimi Morton, problem solver
extraordinaire, has the best intentions when it
comes to helping her parents Saffron and Marv,
her brothers Jason and Bradley, and her best friends
Russel and Elaine. Sensitive and perceptive, Mimi
is swift to size-up their shortcomings and leap
into action on their behalf. That's when the hilarious
complications begin!
Watch as Mimi tries to keep Bradley from going
to "genius" school. See what Mimi does when the
new track coach at school wreaks havoc. Be there
when Mimi looks after Elaine's pets with disastrous
results. Find out what happens when Mimi and her
friends spend a weekend in the school "biosphere"
experiment. The fun and laughter never stop.
Luckily, Mimi is as resourceful as she is impulsive,
and things seem to have a way of working themselves
out-albeit in startling and unexpected ways. At
the end of the day, we can be sure Mimi has learned
a lot from her mistakes, but don't worry - she'll
be ready to make more tomorrow!
