How the Show Was Made
When the show was first being planned, it had a different name. It was called Gilbert and Allie. The series is made by two companies working together. These are Brown Bag Films in Dublin, Ireland, and Cyber Group Studios in Paris, France.
The show uses two different animation styles. The parts that happen in the human world are made with 3D animation. But the Magical Realm scenes are done in 2D animation. This makes the two worlds look very different. The show is made for kids aged 6 to 11 years old.
