Beas Block | 3D & 2D Animation | Keyframe Studios London

Bea’s Block draws on the ubiquity of toy blocks to bring the vibrant, multicultural neighborhood of Blocktown to life. Centering on bold and curious 5-year-old Bea and her two best block friends Ty and Lexi, the series follows the trio as they go on “Kindness Adventures” and help others in their community.

The show spotlights relatable preschool challenges faced by friends and neighbors, encouraging children to develop respect and care for others. "A warm, playful series that will immediately feel familiar to kids, both through the use of toy block-inspired animation and by telling this story using a diverse and inclusive cast” Kay Wilson Stallings, Sesame Workshop’s Executive Vice President of Creative & Production. Bea's Block utilised a hybrid workflow: 3D, for the characters' dynamic blocky bodies, and 2D, for expressions and lipsync.

Keyframe team lead and CG supervisor Asa Movshovitz worked closely with the creative animation team of A Productions to bring this charming TV show to life. Keyframe handled 3D and 2D character animation and delivered services for 14 epsiodes.
