Wow!! Angela you have for me have educated, motivated & uncomplicated the entire process needed to produce a successful positive children’s program. !! And though I seek to &! 7:19 visualize our production become s smash hit, I am well aware that a very minute number of these or any such endeavors reach such heights or even get any where near that vision. After watching your instructional video I am certain that it will have a positive effect to many children & adults as well!! Thank you!! Anthony Wilson

Thank you for a great video! Great to hear from a creators perspective how shows are made with thought. I was wondering how shows are made as I rewatched a show that I absolutely loved as a small child. I noticed that they had segments that were for small children like i was at the time (a Pelikan costumed charachter that was playful and messy) and segments for older children where they learned a bit about music and performed a song (often repeated, once in the "jam room" and then performed), and a detective show segment. I only remember that I loved the Pelican and that she would jump. *The show in reference is a swedish childrens show called Pippi Pelikan

My idea was originally going to be in Anime. But I also watched some interactive media, so instead I changed one of my ideas into an interactive children's show.

Angela, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have experience in creating educational programs on a much smaller scale in Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. Right now, I have an outline for content towards the bigger vision and a couple of willing people to work with me. All the work of KZbin and posting on social media seems like a daunting task in addition to the content. How did you initially begin or were you already employed by a larger media corporation?

Angela I'm Curious Meow Meow what makes me and Daniel "Aspirational" Characters? I mean I know we're Friendly and Cute. It must feel weird talking to the very character you created but I'm just curious like any other kitty

[@judessonpierre3467]

It will be called Ralph and the awesome friends

[@DaisyPusher]

How did it turn out?

[@JadagraceSongs]

[@AngelasClues]

[@beefydie2010]

I was wondering if you have copy of the 1999 super why pilot because I need to see it in my life

[@AngelasClues]

I don't. Sorry

[@kevinschaoticshuttle4544]

sorry, I'm looking to make a show for a might type older audience than Preschool. I want to entertain Both 5-11 year olds as well as adults. not really trying to educate kids. not trying to be mean, but I'm probably ...not in the right mindset here...

[@TheOneLegendaryGamer]

It’s all good man. What matters most is that you have a passion. Do what you want.

[@globru26]

Angela you know your character superwhy is being completely stolen? An Indian company is using a recoloured version as their mascot and is making money off of it.

[@AngelasClues]

Thanks. They're looking into it :)

[@EarthymoonPhotos]

Angela it's actually a thing you download that "detects viruses and deletes them'' but downloading it gives you a virus yourself! their mascot is Super Why with an orange mask and cloak.
