The story
Bea's Block draws on the familiar fun of toy blocks to bring the vibrant, multicultural neighbourhood of Blocktown to life. It centres on bold and curious 5-year-old Bea and her two best block friends, Ty and Lexi, as they go on Kindness Adventures and help others in their community. The show spotlights relatable preschool challenges faced by friends and neighbours, encouraging children to develop respect and care for others. Kay Wilson Stallings, Sesame Workshop's Executive Vice President of Creative and Production, called it "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".
What we did
Bea's Block used a hybrid workflow: 3D for the characters' dynamic, blocky bodies, and 2D for expressions and lip sync. Keyframe team lead and CG supervisor Asa Movshovitz worked closely with the animation team at A Productions to bring the show to life. We handled 3D and 2D character animation across 14 episodes.
