The Morph Files is a fun British TV show for kids. It features a cool character named Morph. This show uses a special type of animation called stop-motion.
In stop-motion, animators move clay models tiny bits at a time. They take a picture after each small movement. When you play all the pictures fast, it looks like the models are moving!
The show was narrated by Neil Morrissey. It was made by a famous company called Aardman Animations. They also created Wallace and Gromit!
The Morph Files mixes new animation with older clips. These older clips come from Morph's first adventures. So, you get to see both new and classic Morph moments.
The show first aired on BBC in the United Kingdom in 1996. Later, it was shown in other countries too. These included Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
You can still watch The Morph Files today! It's available on services like iTunes Store and Amazon Instant Video.
