MUMBAI: From bouncing on cherries to jet-skiing on avocados, these dinos are serving fun by the spoonful. Emmy-winning French animation house Dandelooo is cooking up a global treat with Pongpong Dino, the delightfully zany preschool series that’s just landed broadcast deals in the UK and the US. The CGI show, produced by Korean studio Dream Factory and directed by Taek Geun Chae, blends food, friendship and fizzy fun for kids aged 3 to 5.

Pongpong Dino will premiere on Sky Kids and Now in the UK later this year. Across the Atlantic, it’s set to make a splash on Vme Kids, the first 24/7 Spanish-language TV channel focused on educational preschool content in the US.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Pongpong Dino to the Vme Kids lineup,” said Vme Media Inc VP of programming and operations Doris Vogelmann. “With its vibrant animation, engaging storytelling and joyful tone, it’s a perfect fit for our youngest viewers.”

The series follows five exuberant dino kids Momo, Titi, Po, Tutu, and Kaka as they bounce through fantastical food-filled worlds, where cheese becomes jump rope and lemons are repurposed as water balloons. The show encourages young audiences to explore food with all five senses, promoting curiosity, collaboration and a playful attitude to nutrition.

At the heart of Pongpong Dino is a child-led approach to problem-solving where listening to peers and thinking creatively is key to every challenge. Forget boring lectures and picky eaters these dinos dive headfirst into flavour, fun, and friendship.

With its global expansion, Pongpong Dino is proving that when it comes to early learning, a spoonful of imagination goes a long way.
