VIDEO — As our July 4th gift to you, we are releasing a scene from our show! This segment, “A Little Lesson on Feelings,” was made for us by über-talented artist Hine Mizushima, who made and animated all these characters by hand. This piece is intended to give kids an overview of where feelings come from, and to let them know that everyone everywhere has feelings, just like they do. We hope this little gem makes your family feel great over the holiday weekend. Enjoy!
