Tinga Tinga Tales
Thinking of areas to look at about and research into African Folk Tales I came across and young children's show animating simple tales. Tinga tinga tales! Portraying tales about why the elephant has a trunk, why the hyena has short back legs, why the snake has legs and so forth. By simplifying the tale down and creating an array of brightly coloured patterned animal characters, children can learn stories based on morals, learning from other's mistakes, holding their attention and focus to the programme. Here are a few stills from the show:

See here for one of the tales: "Why has the elephant has a trunk": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3NMg06XV3E
You can see from the stills how the characters have been illustrated - based on simple shapes, colours and patterns. Thinking about my research report is there a way to link it more to my studio work? How folk tales have been translated into digital means?... animation! Children's TV programme!!
