Kiri and Lou

Kiri is a feisty but emotional dinosaur and Lou is her gentle purple friend. They live in a prehistoric forest of cutout paper, where they have adventures with this friends, including motherly Pania and sensitive, caring Sorry.

The five-minute stories teach kids the value of friendship, empathy, kindness and politeness – even when you’re being served a meal of delicious fruit by a pair of super-slow tortoises.

This charming claymation series is made in New Zealand, and features the voice of Jermaine Clement, made famous by Flight of the Conchords. As you’d expect, there are some wonderfully catchy, funny songs. It’s a series that kids and their parents can enjoy.
