Crawc! It’s Toad & Friends on S4C
Looking forward to working once again with Ho Ho Entertainment to bring Crawc a’i Ffrindiau (Croak and Friends) to S4C’s Cyw viewers soon.
Based on the Scotsman Kenneth Grahame’s classic books,
The Wind in the Willows, this new series is an adaptation of the recently-launched CGI show, Toad and Friends.
We can’t wait to get back into the studio later this month with some super duper Welsh voice talent!
Lab coats on, it’s time to learn!
Great to team up once again with Cracking Productions on a series of films for Public Health Wales. Filming across two locations, Heath Hospital in Cardiff and Singleton in Swansea, we’re loving getting out lab coats on and learning how the Microbiology department ticks.
New commission in super-speedy time!
We’ll be back in studio next week with Caru Canu a Stori series 3.
A big thanks to Sioned Geraint, Angharad Thomas & the Business Affairs team at S4C for turning this commission around in a super speedy 2 months.
We’re very much looking forward to getting stuck in and working with the fantastic team at Picl Animation, Cracking Productions, Cranc Audio, MD Dyfan Jones and making great use of the wonderful Welsh wool textiles of Melin Tregwynt. A huge thanks to our writers, Anna-Lisa Jenaer and Branwen Gwyn for some super-quick writing and of course to our ‘Cari’, Elin Davies.
Celebrating Libraries Week with a Booktrust reading
Did you know that October 3-9 is Libraries Week? As luck would have it, we had the opportunity to celebrate Wales’s fab libraries by filming Dafydd Lennon, Cyw’s brand new presenter, doing a reading for Booktrust Cymru’s ‘Pori Drwy Stori ‘ featured book, ‘Yr Arth a’i llyfr arbennig’ at the Hub in Llandaf North, Cardiff.
Lovely venue, friendly team, great coffee and a fabulous book read – the perfect way to spend a breezy autumnal morning.
The film will be online soon.
Voice over projects
When the sun shines, we head…..into the voice over booth!
This month has seen us work with both regular and new clients.
Once again, we were delighted to work with Ho Ho Entertainment, casting and voice directing a teaser for their brand new kids property, Toddler Time.
Ho Ho have teamed up with Toddler Time creator Gail Penston to develop her successful books into a brand new pre-school animation property. The teaser, animated by Bumpy Box, will be available to view at this year’s CMC in Sheffield.
It was a pleasure for us to work with a new client, Pukka Films recently, adapting English language scripts into Welsh, casting and voice directing two films for the Crown Prosecution Services. The films were voiced brilliantly by Mali Harris.
Meddwl ar Waith for BBC Bitesize
GCSE season is upon us, and where better to turn to for advice than BBC Bitesize?
It was a pleasure, once again, to cast and produce Meddwl ar Waith for BBC Bitesize, working with The Connected Set, who delivered 12 stylish, informative and entertaining films and 6 social media clips.

Learning at Home
Following a period of working on Bitesize content at the start of the pandemic in the spring and summer of 2020, it was a pleasure to work once again on content to help children learn at home.
This time, we had the pleasure of packaging content for Bitesize’s ‘Dysgu Gartref’ (‘Learning at Home’) service, for broadcast on S4C. Bitesize resources are extremely useful for children of all ages and it was great to see them available for the first time in Welsh on S4C and the BBC iplayer.
