The Mighty Jungle is a puppet series for preschoolers in which the narrative of the story is largely crafted by a group of preschoolers who appear in live-action segments interspersed between puppet-acted scenes. It is co-produced by Halifax Film[1] and Decode Entertainment[2], both DHX Media Companies[3]; it is produced in association with CBC Television[4]. The program is broadcast in Canada on CBC Television in the Kids' CBC programming block[5], and in the United States on the PBS Kids Sprout cable network.
Babu, along with his friends Bruce and Rhonda, explore many of the same issues that very young children face, such as wanting to win, feeling silly, or not knowing how much is "too much" of a good thing. As the story illustrating the day's theme is played out, the narrative occasionally pauses so that the live-action preschoolers can suggest a course of action for the puppet characters to take, and often the puppets will react to the advice they receive.
