In collaboration with Blue River Pictures, we produced the puppet characters for the TV series “Karka Tamil , Let’s Learn Tamil”. This is a children’s programme that is more than alphabets and words. A puppet show that will entertain and teach the nuances of Tamil language through skits, songs and animation. It will also help every child develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills that are essential for school readiness and social interaction.
The show encompasses colourful sets, cool music, unique sound effects, engaging Puppets’ design and quality animation. It will also be engaging and fun for parents to watch along too.

Frankie & company’s performance formed the highlight of the celebration at YMCA’s annual children’s Day Party on 6 Oct 2011.
A puppet/magic interactive performance delighted the hearts of 220 children with ages ranging from 18 months to 6 years, with some of them coming from lower-income/at-risk families.
The children also had a special treat when our mascot welcomed them and spent time mingling amongst them.

Frankie and team once again brought happy moments to the pupils of Towner Gardens School. His magic gags and puppet acts tickled many of them to laughter.
With continual fine-tuning of the puppet creation process, Frankie and team brought forth a next generation of giant puppets that are lighter and more animated. This year’s NDP witnessed 24 giant puppets bouncing their way to a wonderful celebration at the Marina platform.
