The Blob Who Likes to Blab
This summer, we completed work on a spot for Sesame Workshop, which will air later this fall on The Electric Company. The spot, titled "The Blob Who Likes to Blab", teaches the short "a" and "o" sounds and features a genial, but obnoxiously gabby blue glob whose jabbering is terrorizing the citizens of his metropolis.
The objective of The Electric Company, which is the number one program in its block on PBS KIDS GO!, is to fight the literacy crisis among American second graders and reduce the gap between low- and middle-income families by spreading the word that "reading is cool". Avid readers as children, we were thrilled to contribute to their programming. It was a fantastic opportunity to fulfill a couple of our core objectives as a studio— creating memorable characters to tell stories that entertain and enrich audiences.
