In each episode the animal music artists ooze attitude and present the viewers with a unique take on urban wildlife. Through musical rhyme children find out what life is really like for the wild creatures living amongst us in our cities. These seriously catchy tunes will stick in your head for days. Animal rap stars strut their stuff in these lively short episodes that will have audiences tuning in for their daily musical fix. The series developed from our first Urban Tails pilot episode “Funky Foxes” made for the RTÉ short scheme in 2016. The series concept was launched at Cartoon Forum and was nominated for BEST PILOT at Cartoons on the Bay. Urban Tails’ second pilot “Mista C-Lion” was launched at MIP 2017 in partnership with Screen Ireland. Both pilots can be seen below.
