About the Show

Little Robots brings to life a world where robots of all shapes and sizes learn, play, and solve problems together. The show uses stop-motion animation, which means that models are moved tiny amounts between each photo, making them look like they are moving when the pictures are played quickly. This special way of making cartoons gives the robots a unique and charming look.

The show teaches important lessons about friendship, teamwork, and creativity. Each episode shows the robots facing small challenges and working together to find solutions.
