Curator’s clip description

The Bambaloo series theme song introduces the mythical tropical setting of the Bambaloo tree, and the key characters.

Curator’s notes

The trademark Yoram Gross animated opening sequence uses the bright colours and this simple, catchy series theme song to signal the beginning of the show to the young audience. It also effectively introduces and constantly reminds viewers of the main characters, building up recognition through repetition. Animation is used to introduce other segments throughout the program, including the episode theme song.
