Clangers Series 1

Zusatztext

On a majestic little planet far out in space lives the enchanting family of the Clangers, a community of small pink mouse-like creatures who speak in soft, musical whistles. Their world is filled with wonder, invention, and friendship, where every day brings a new discovery beneath the starry sky.
 
 The Clanger family consists of the inventive Major Clanger, who is always busy building ingenious contraptions; the caring and practical Mother Clanger, who keeps everything running smoothly; the adventurous Small Clanger, who loves to explore; and the generous Tiny Clanger, whose kindness shines through in everything she does. Together, they live in harmony within their cratered home, where imagination and music fill the air.
 
 Their closest friends include the Soup Dragon and her Baby Dragon, who live deep beneath the surface and provide the Clangers with their much-loved green soup. There is also the Iron Chicken, who watches over the planet from her metal nest, the melodic Music Trees, the playful Froglets, and the mysterious Hoots who visit from afar.
 
 Each story in Series 1 is a gentle adventure ¿ from investigating curious pieces of space debris to helping visitors from distant worlds, or discovering new ways to play and create. With their characteristic warmth and curiosity, the Clangers remind us all of the simple joys of kindness, teamwork, and wonder.

Autorenportrait

Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin were the visionary duo behind some of Britain's most cherished children's television. Together, they created a string of iconic programmes under their company Smallfilms, including Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, and of course, The Clangers. With Postgate's gentle narration and storytelling, and Firmin's handcrafted animation and design, their work shaped the childhoods of generations¿quietly revolutionary in both form and spirit. The Clangers, first broadcast in 1969, was unlike anything else on television. Set on a distant, cratered planet, it introduced viewers to a family of pink, mouse-like creatures who communicated in melodic whistles and explored life's small wonders with warmth, curiosity, and kindness. The show's whimsical inventiveness, environmental themes, and deeply human values won it lifelong fans, and its original stop-motion artistry still inspires animators and storytellers today. Postgate and Firmin's work was always rooted in care¿for storytelling, for children, for craftsmanship, and for the world around them. The Clangers was produced in their converted cowshed in Kent using handmade sets, found objects, and music composed by Vernon Elliott. There was nothing cynical or commercial in their vision; these were stories made with heart. In 2015, The Clangers was lovingly revived for the BBC by Peter Firmin and Oliver's son, Daniel Postgate, introducing the characters to an entirely new generation while preserving the essence of the original series.
