PBS Kids and renowned music director Gustavo Dudamel are collaborating on a new half-hour 2D animated special titled “Carnival of the Animals,” premiering on November 16. This special will feature performances from Camille Saint-Saëns’ iconic composition, set in a vibrant town filled with animals preparing for a carnival parade.
A young hero embarks on a quest to save the day after Big Lion’s crown is stolen. The program is designed for children aged two to eight, aiming to educate and connect them with music. Narrated by Gustavo’s 15-year-old son Martín Dudamel, the special features a blend of hand-painted watercolor backgrounds, tactile textures, and orchestral elements, all without dialogue.
Five live-action companion digital shorts will supplement the music education curriculum, showcasing musicians from the LA Philharmonic and Youth Orchestra Los Angeles. Produced by Silver Creek Falls Entertainment and animated by Oscar-winning Passion Pictures Animation, the special is directed by BAFTA nominee Siri Melchior and executive-produced by Gustavo Dudamel.
