Pablo is a British children's television series that premiered on CBeebies on 2 October 2017. It was created by Grainne McGuinness. The series follows the adventures of Pablo, a five year old autistic boy, and his imaginary anthropomorphized animal friends, the Book Animals, who go on adventures in Pablo's 'Art World'. It is a hybrid of live action sequences and 2D animation. The series is notable for featuring a voice cast and writing team who are all on the autistic spectrum.
It also broadcasts internationally, including on ABC Kids, RTÉjr, NatGeo Kids, CBC Kids, Universal Kids, and Netflix.
Contents
Format
A typical episode will begin in the real world, where Pablo will be engaging in some sort of activity. When encountering a problem or something he doesn't understand (like the loss of his own smell following a bath or the unusual way sandwiches are cut to be rectangular rather than triangular), the episode will transition into an animated 'art world', represented by Pablo's drawings. There, Pablo and the Book Animals will work together to solve whatever problem is at hand.
Characters
- Pablo (played by William & Oliver Burns (live-action), voiced by Jake Williamson): the kind and playful protagonist. He loves to draw things in the Art World with his crayons.
- Mouse (voiced by Rachael Dickson): Mouse is very reliable, cute and organized, but she also hates loud sounds. She talks in the third person.
- Noa (voiced by Tony Finnegan): Noa is a dinosaur who's sensitive, but often doesn't know how to express his feelings.
- Tang (voiced by Michael White): Tang is an orangutan who's the big, fun goofball of the group. He's always ready to do anything, but has problems reading social cues and isn't always very careful.
- Wren (voiced by Sumita Majumdar): Wren is gentle and loves to sing. Her words in her comforting voice always sooth others when they're in stress.
- Llama (voiced by Rosie King): Llama loves to skip around back and forth on her four legs. She has echolalia.
- Draff (voiced by Scott Mulligan): a male giraffe who's the smartest of the group. Because of this, he's highly intelligent and precise. His most commonly used phrase is "in point of fact", as he loves explaining things.
- Pablo's Mum (played by Rosie Barry): caring and attentive, she supports her son in any way she can. She mainly appears in the live action segments.
