Wild Kratts on TV Guide Magazine
This is from the Jan. 10-16 issue:
Wild Kratts (Weekdays, PBS, check local listings)
Lions and tigers and bears... Oh, my! School-age animal lovers will get a thrill watching the latest television creation from Chris and Martin Kratt, the zoologist siblings behind the popular PBS series Kratts' Creatures and Zoboomafoo. This time around, the brothers get animated, too, which is supercool, says Chris. "We can go places and see things that you just can't in real life." In the cartoon, the guys travel the world for encounters with creatures that are familiar (crocodiles, worms, a platypus and pigeons) and some not so familiar (a conehead katydid, a tiger quoll and the recently discovered colossal squid). "Each episode is like a mini-movie, and the animal characters are teaching kids science while on a wild adventure-comedy ride," says Martin. "We want to introduce viewers to amazing animals and encourage them to do things to save their fellow creatures." The added bonus comes when parents and teachers - whom Chris describes as being "blown away by what comes out of their kids' mouths about animals" - approach them
on the street. Now that's something to crow about.
