The Adventures of Benny and the Junior Rangers
Is a colourful and educational children's series that chronicles the adventures of Benny and his friends, a group of animated bottles, cans and animals that form the junior rangers. In every episode, the junior rangers try to solve an environmental problem by outwitting the lazy tip attendant, Grumpy Graham and his sidekick, Bob the bad breathed bottle.
Synopsis
Each episode deals with a moral dilemma associated with bad environmental practices, and how Benny and the Junior Rangers solve this dilemma.
The first episode introduces the main characters which consist of anthropomorphised bottles, cans, newspapers, a penguin, frog and magpie. There are also two children and their adult nemesis Grumpy Graham with his sidekick Bob the bad breathed bottle.
In the first episodes, Benny and his parents are separated due to bad recycling practices and the team anxiously needs to get to the tip before Grumpy Graham dumps the bottles in with the rest of the rubbish and will be lost forever into ‘The Big Pit of No Return!
An ongoing series of educational children’s books, short films, music, web & tv animation, online and tablet games.
The whole concept is directed at children 2-7 years of age.
Our New Characters
Our new characters, Aunty Ranger and Ranger Rosie, are First Nations rangers.
They were developed in conjunction with Associate Professor Marcus 'Wollombi' Waters, former Dean of Indigenous Studies at Griffith University.
Both characters teach the kids about the Dreamtime and how the First Nations people cared for the environment for thousands of years!
