PBS Kids to air ‘Franny’s Feet’ with Spanish track in US
MUMBAI: Pre-school series Franny’s Feet will now be available on PBS Kids with a Spanish language track beginning 7 October. Thirteen/WNET and Decode Entertainment have brought the weekly series for four- to seven-year-old children to television in markets across the United States.
Viewers will also be able to access the Spanish-language track or DVS (descriptive video service for the visually impaired) using the Secondary Audio Program (SAP), informs an official release.
The PBS Kids broadcast of Franny’s Feet is produced by Decode Entertainment in association with Thirteen/WNET. Decode has also produced additional content to accompany the PBS Kids broadcast. The new segments, in which Franny prompts audience participation, are highly interactive and build young viewers’ understanding of educational content explored in the episode. The PBS Kids version of Franny’s Feet also includes new sing-along music videos.
The fun continues online, where kids can join Franny on adventures around the world-from Africa to South America, to the South Pole — and all kinds of places in between at www.pbskids.org, adds the release.
Franny’s magical adventures transport her to places around the world, where she meets new friends and tries to help them solve problems, sharing her feelings, fears and advice with the audience along the way. In every episode, while helping her grandpa in his shoe repair shop, Franny slips on a pair of shoes and says “Where will my feet take me today…?” From there, the adventures are limitless. Global awareness, science and vocabulary development are woven together with storytelling for a seamless, entertaining and interdisciplinary learning experience.
