Grandpa loves telling stories of his escapades, though his memories are starting to fade.

Type of animation: 2D

Target Audience: Preschool

Stand-Out Qualities: Joyous and uplifting in all aspects, from its gorgeous colors and exuberant New Orleans brass band score to its fun and engaging characters and riotously comic stories, Ivory Towers encourages children to live in the moment, have gratitude for people in our lives and celebrate the joy in every day.

Exec Quote: Colin Williams, creative director at Sixteen South, tells us, “With global themes, important messages, comically entertaining characters and stories plus a huge feelgood factor, Ivory Towers has enormous worldwide potential. A sense of community is key to all of our shows because characters really thrive when they’re together. We also want to show how young kids and old folks have a lot in common and are really good for each other. Although our elderly residents are in the sunset of their lives, they are still big kids at heart, wanting to make the most of every moment and enjoy life to the full — just like preschoolers. Based on a positive psychology that teaches gratitude — and how being grateful is an action not just a feeling. The show also demonstrates how to make your own fun, be creative and imaginative, and find joy in every situation.”
