YouTube Kids & Family released the official trailer for The Eggventurers, a new preschool animated series featuring a cast of egg characters who jump into engineering adventures, building spectacular chain reaction machines to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The series was created and produced by STEM-focused kids’ media and toy company GoldieBlox and produced in partnership with animation company Mainframe Studios.
The premiere episode, Zombie Eggpocalypse, will be available to watch for free on 21 October at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET on the GoldieBlox YouTube channel and the YouTube Kids app, with all-new episodes rolling out weekly on Fridays.
“The Eggventurers is a dialog-minimal yet entertainment-heavy show for preschoolers that centers around its lovable characters, amazing machines and problem-solving adventurers,” said YouTube global head of kids and family originals Craig Hunter. “The series fosters imagination, creativity, trial and error, and teamwork in a relatable and fun way.”
GoldieBlox founder and CEO Debbie Sterling said, “Our goal in creating The Eggventurers was to give preschoolers all over the world a wildly entertaining introduction to STEM through cool machines, lovable characters and problem-solving adventures. We hope that our egg heroes will inspire kids to build contraptions out of the stuff they have lying around the house, igniting an engineering mindset that will benefit them for years to come.”
The trailer showcases the main egg heroes Robin, Pascha, Goose, Ducky and Red, who use STEM, creativity and teamwork to help surprise egg guest characters overcome obstacles and reach their goals. And although the egg heroes have no arms or legs, that doesn’t stop them from achieving the extraordinary, as they resourcefully use the common household objects they find around them to build whimsical solutions to problems big and small.
The Eggventurers is produced by GoldieBlox and Mainframe Studios. GoldieBlox founder and CEO Debra Sterling is creator and executive producer of the series with Brett Doar and Melissa Schneider as executive producers. Tanya Green, Michael Hefferon and Kim Dent Wilder are executive producers (Mainframe Studios). Hunter is also creative lead for The Eggventurers with Zoë Di Stefano also serving as creative lead.
