The series debut coincides with UNICEF's annual International Children's Day of Broadcasting, which encourages broadcasters to air programming for, about or by kids.
The short-form series revolves around a young boy, Tobi, who wants to make the world a better place and focuses on global issues in an age appropriate way, including human rights, endangered species and homelessness.
A traditionally hand drawn animated series featuring backgrounds created with recycled materials, Tobi is written in verse and uses a combination of stylized jazz and dialogue to support the narration. Tobi is produced at Little Airplane's NYC studio, with the company's Supervising Producer Tone Thyne heading up the production.
