I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Amazon Studios. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item to thank me for participating.
Let’s face it kids love to watch fun and exciting TV shows! Sometimes they want to watch the same show OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I know my kids would cry to watch something repeatedly and now my nieces are the same way! Thank goodness for DVR, on demand and online streaming! So, when I heard about the new Pre-school series Tumble Leaf put out by Amazon Studios, I was excited to see if this would keep my youngest niece entertained with something new!! So when we was given the chance to check out the new Amazon Studios kids series Tumble Leaf thanks to Mom Central I jumped at the chance!
About Tumble Leaf
If you are not aware Amazon Studios, launched in 2010 as a new way to develop feature films and episodic series that are available for viewing only on Amazon Prime Instant Video. However, Friday May 23rd they released their first original series for preschool-aged children called Tumble Leaf! Each episode of Tumble Leaf follows Fig, a blue fox who lives in a shipwrecked schooner ship by the sea and his best friend “Stick,” a caterpillar who lives in a tiny basket strapped to Fig’s forearm, as they discover adventure, friendship, and love around every bend. Tumble Leaf, just like all of Amazon’s children’s programs, is designed to develop creative thinking in children through play. As we all know Children often learn life’s most valuable lessons from the television series they watch. From learning to count, to understanding the importance of friendship, these teachings prove crucial as children develop into young adults. With the release of this new fun and exciting series, Amazon Studios aims to inspire lifelong learners and provide key skills to personal and professional satisfaction as children grow up!
Tumble Leaf was created by Drew Hodges and award winning studio Bix Pix. The talent behind the characters includes Christopher Down as “Fig,” Landon Clay as “Hedge,”Addie Zintel as “Pine,” Brooke Wolloff as “Maple” and Gary Littman as “Ginkgo
About Amazon Studios:
Amazon Studios is developing feature films and episodic series in a new way, one that’s open to great ideas from creators—and audiences—around the world. There are two distinctive characteristics of our process:
Amazon Studios is an open door for creators. There are a lot of great ideas in Hollywood, but not everyone can be there or get their work into the right hands. Amazon Studios is open to ideas from around the world. We are proud to have recognized talented writers and filmmakers in the US, Canada, the UK, China, Zimbabwe, the Dominican Republic and other countries. Great ideas are out there.
Amazon Studios invites the audience in early. Amazon Studios seeks feedback about projects and ideas, even in their earliest stages. And to reach the most people, they try to shape stories into a form that is short, or visual, or both. They test premises, storyboards, posters, videos, test movies, pilots, promos, and other formats to see what people think. Scripts are critically important in development, but they are just not accessible to most audiences.
Our Thoughts:
My Niece loved it! She actually sat still and watched the whole thing in aww. She is 4 so if something doesn’t grab her attention in the first couple of minutes you can forget about it! As a parent I loved how bright and fun the colors was and the best part is the educational value it has! I also love that we can take it with us on the go and can watch it on all our devices including the new Amazon Fire TV when we are at home.
Watch Now:
You can watch the first episode of Tumble Leaf free on the Amazon Studios website. However, In order to watch the remainder of the series you must sign up for Amazon Prime!(We love Amazon prime and find it well worth the price of $99 per year)
App Alert:
Tumble Leaf recently launched a free Android app featuring six games inspired by objects and activities from the show. You can download the app here: http://amzn.to/1vTdTzU
