PROJECT INFO


I really loved working on this totally crazy preschool animation show which was created by the wonderful Leigh Hodgkinson and Steve Smith. Tib, Lalloo and Bobble are three little Olobobs who create ingenious ways round every problem by making new and ever-stranger creatures out of colourful shapes.  Apart from the Olobobs, whose parts are performed by young children, all the other characters in the series are voiced by the magnificent Stephen Mangan. You can see an interview with him about the project here.

Olobob Top is currently screening on CBeebies in the UK and many territories around the world including Australia, Finland and Japan. There are also some lovely books based on the show which are about to hit the shelves, and work has started on releasing a soundtrack of some of the music from the series.

I’ll post some more music clips up here very soon, but in the meantime, you can hear the theme tune on the BBC site here.
