Little ROY is a fun Irish children's TV show. It was filmed in Cardiff, United Kingdom. You can watch it in Ireland on TRTÉ and RTÉ TWO. In the UK, it airs on CBBC and CBeebies. Australian viewers can catch it on ABC Kids.
The show is about a five-year-old boy named Roy O'Brien. He's a cartoon character, but his family are real people! This makes the show a cool mix of live-action and animation. Little ROY is actually a story that happened before another TV show called Roy. That show ran from 2009 to 2015. Alan Shannon, who created Roy, also directed Little ROY.
What's the Story?
This show follows the daily adventures of five-year-old Roy O'Brien. Roy is a very energetic and playful boy. He's a cartoon, so his cartoon powers often cause funny problems!
In each episode, Roy faces a challenge in his real-life world. To figure things out, he uses his amazing imagination. He turns into 'Wonder Roy' and, with his friend Finn, acts out the problem. This helps him find a clever solution!
