Jellabies

The Jellabies is a television animation series on the Australian television network ABC Kids. Its target audience is children in the age of 2-6 years old. The program is created using computer-generated imagery animation. The show is narrated by Rik Mayall. The Jellabies are jelly made people that live in the Jolly Jelly World, (made of jelly) that's the magical land at the end of the rainbow, where their main job is to make rainbows.(for which they have an amazingly clever machine called the Jellyscope, a computer / teleporter / rainbow generator which is constantly monitoring weather conditions around the world)That's why they live in the land where the rainbows are made. Each of the 6 jellabies represent the colours of the rainbow. Strum is purple, Bouncy is yellow, Denny is blue, Pepper is red, Amber is orange and Coral is pink. As there are only 6 jellabies, Duffy the Dragon is a character that representes green.

For children the voice-over explains a lot of things from everyday life, either the objects, (like what is a trampoline meant for) as well as basic culture, (like what do you give as a birthday present).

Every episode takes only five minutes, and tells just one story of the six jellabies: Strum, the musical Jellaby that plays the saxophone; Bouncey, who lives in his bumper car; Denny, who lives in a boat on the jelly-lake; Pepper, who lives in a tree house; the twins Amber and Coral who live in an air balloon and finally Duffy the green Dragon.

Jellabies is also known as Jellikins in parts of the world. This version is exactly the same as the jellabies in every way except the characters heads were changed to look like bears. Duffy the dragon remained the same.
