Logline:
A scrappy crew of ground squirrels has taken over the wildest TV station in the boreal forest, serving up comedy, science, and on-the-ground reporting to uncover how ecosystems, animals (and humans) rely on each other to adapt and survive in a rapidly changing world.
Synopsis:
NORTHERN TAILS is a puppet-powered wildlife web series with heart, smarts, and silly bits. An original mash-up of The Muppets and Planet Earth, our crew of critters are on a bold mission to tell the stories of the boreal forest – a little known place that’s the world’s largest ecosystem and a super-influencer for the health of the planet. Each 15-minute episode follows a “variety show” vibe, designed to help everyone understand how we can be better neighbours and take care of this place we all call home. Equal parts silly and sincere, its educational entertainment created in the Yukon, Canada to be shared around the world with audiences of all ages: from nostalgic and new to the young and young-at heart.
