Pre-school
series Franny's Feet will now be available on PBS Kids with
a Spanish language track beginning 7 October. Thirteen/WNET and
Decode Entertainment have brought the weekly series for four- to
seven-year-old children to television in markets across the United
States.
Viewers
will also be able to access the Spanish-language track or DVS (descriptive
video service for the visually impaired) using the Secondary Audio
Program (SAP), informs an official release.
The
PBS Kids broadcast of Franny's Feet is produced by Decode
Entertainment in association with Thirteen/WNET. Decode has also
produced additional content to accompany the PBS Kids broadcast.
The new segments, in which Franny prompts audience participation,
are highly interactive and build young viewers' understanding of
educational content explored in the episode. The PBS Kids version
of Franny's Feet also includes new sing-along music videos.
The
fun continues online, where kids can join Franny on adventures around
the world-from Africa to South America, to the South Pole -- and
all kinds of places in between at www.pbskids.org, adds the
release.
Franny's
magical adventures transport her to places around the world, where
she meets new friends and tries to help them solve problems, sharing
her feelings, fears and advice with the audience along the way.
In every episode, while helping her grandpa in his shoe repair shop,
Franny slips on a pair of shoes and says "Where will my feet
take me today...?" From there, the adventures are limitless.
Global awareness, science and vocabulary development are woven together
with storytelling for a seamless, entertaining and interdisciplinary
learning experience.
