Revision as of 15:15, 14 June 2024
Colourblocks is a British animated television series for preschoolers that debuted on CBeebies on 12 September 2022.[1] The series follows the adventures of block characters in Colourland,[2] each one named after a colour.[3] Together with the series Alphablocks and Numberblocks it is a part of the "Blocks Universe".[1] Commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation, the programme was created by Joe Elliot and David Bowman, and produced by Alphablocks Ltd. with Blue Zoo Animation Studio.[1][4]
The programme aims to teach children about colours. Colour mixing is represented by characters bumping into each other to produce a new character of the resulting colour. A particular object representative of its colour is associated with each character. While being themed on colours, characters also have different shapes so that colour blind children would be able to distinguish between them.[5]
Two seasons have been produced. As of 2024, the series was scheduled for production up to 2027, per an agreement between the Alphablocks Ltd. and Blue Zoo, and BBC.[4]
Premise
Colourblocks follow the adventures of blocks in Colourland, each one named after a colour. They appear to have a specific shape and colour. When one Colourblock goes to the side of another: they transform into (or mix into) a different Colourblock to make a new colour. Many of the Colourblocks are associated with their colours.[6]
Development
BBC Studios commissioned Colourblocks as an animated series for children aged 3–6 to be developed by Essex production company Blue Zoo. Created by Joe Elliot and David Bowman, the series was made to give children a deeper understanding of how colours are made and created.
