The Unique Voice of Kangaroo Beach: Bringing Laughter and Lifesaving Lessons to Preschoolers

Kangaroo Beach, the Australian animated TV series that has captured the hearts of kids across the nation, is all about action, comedy, and water safety lessons. Since its debut on Boxing Day 2020, the show has quickly become a smash hit with young audiences and their families, racking up an impressive average of 1,673,000 views per episode on broadcast TV and ABC iview, with a grand total of 14.9 million plays on iView this year.

What sets Kangaroo Beach apart is its unique blend of humor and education. Brought to life in vibrant CG animation, the show features lovable characters like Pounce, Gemma, Neville, and Frizzy as they spend an action-packed summer at a spectacular beach, training as junior cadets with their lifeguard heroes.

At the heart of the series is the story of Neville, a young kangaroo who inspires his friends to devise a clever plan to get them all back to safety after disaster strikes. With vital training from the lifeguards, the cadets begin to learn about the importance of beach protocol and the way of the ocean.

In an upcoming Summer Special, comedian Celeste Barber will join the cast as Neville's slightly overbearing Mum Narelle. In her role, Celeste brings a dash of humor and warmth to the character, making her a lovable addition to the show.

Celeste, who is also a mother herself, drew inspiration from her own experiences when voicing Narelle. 'I've adored voicing Neville's Mum,' she said. 'Playing Narelle wasn't too much of a stretch for me, as I refer to my children as my little wombats.'

The Kangaroo Beach Summer Special follows the adventures of the four young animal friends as they embark on a surfing adventure that ends with them being stranded on a deserted beach and in care of two frightened young kids. With their lifeguard heroes by their side, the cadets learn valuable lessons about teamwork, bravery, and the importance of staying safe at the beach.

In an exciting new development, Kangaroo Beach is set to premiere its First Day of Summer special on January 1st at 8:10 am on ABC Kids and ABC iview. Fans can look forward to an encore screening at 5:20 pm on the same day.

With its unique blend of humor, action, and educational value, Kangaroo Beach is a must-watch for preschoolers and their families. So, grab your sunscreen and join the gang on Kangaroo Beach for an unforgettable adventure that will leave you laughing and inspired to stay safe at the beach.
