SANTA MONICA, CA -- Amazon Studios has announced the May 6th release of new episodes of their original preschool series, Tumble Leaf. Tumble Leaf, season 2, is scheduled to debut on Prime Video.
Tumble Leaf features Fig, a delightfully curious blue fox, and his best, wiggliest caterpillar friend Stick as they embark on new nature-filled adventures and discover science through play. Created by Drew Hodges (Community) and executive produced by Hodges and Kelli Bixler (The Roadents), Tumble Leaf features voice work from Christopher Downs as Fig, Brooke Wolloff as Maple, Zac McDowell as Hedge, Addie Zintel as Pine, and Alex Trugman as Ginkgo.
Fostering lifelong creative learning, Tumble Leaf features lush worlds and playful stop-motion animation. Last year it garnered four Daytime Emmys and the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Pre-School Children’s Animated Program. It also earned the Jury Award for a TV series at the 2014 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, the 2015 and 2016 Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production for Preschool Children, and a 2015 and 2016 Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Most recently, the series garnered a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation and nominations for Outstanding Pre-School Children’s Animated Program, Outstanding Directing in an Animated Program and Outstanding Costume Design.
Scot Osterweil, Amazon’s Thought Leader and advisor for Tumble Leaf, is Creative Director of the Education Arcade and the Game Lab in the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program. He has designed award-winning games in both academic and commercial environments, focusing on what is authentically playful in challenging academic subjects. He is a founder and President of Learning Games Network where he leads the Gates Foundation’s Xenos Language Learning Initiative (ESL), and where he designed Quandary, named Game of the Year at the 2013 Games 4 Change festival.
