Overall
The Adventures of Gracie Lou is set in the colourful, happy and musical world of three-year-old Gracie Lou and all her friends. They have many fun-filled adventures learning new words, playing exciting games and learning new songs.

The Story Behind the Show
"The Adventures of Gracie Lou" is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Darren and Helen Simpson who make up Merry Dance Productions. What started as a simple bedtime story series for their two young daughters Grace and Matilda, has now become a fully-animated singing and learning series for children aged 0-4 years. It's something of which they are extremely proud and are pleased to introduce it to you.

Whilst this has been an ongoing project for the past 5 years, it's not until Darren and Helen joined creative forces with the team at Two Camels Music in London that we see the final quality children's animation we have today. The musical skills of Erwin Keiles and John Thirkell have turned these traditional children's songs into new modern treasures which children will love and enjoy.

"The Adventures of Gracie Lou" is appealing to young children because of it’s simplicity, it’s bright colours, it’s use of creative learning repetition and it’s simple non-cluttered movement. Most importantly, it is fun. When an episode is finished, children are often heard to say "Again please Mummy!".

The characters are fun and colourful. They are always smiling and dancing their way from one song to the next. New puzzles and games are always around the next corner and each task is as exciting as the last.

Darren, Helen and the team at Two Camels Music are committed to producing quality children's stories that help children learn and grow. With each song or story they animate, comes the new challenge of inspiring the growing and learning minds of our children. It's a challenge they meet with great passion and enthusiasm, and one which they hope to transfer into the world of "Gracie Lou".

"The Adventures of Gracie Lou" was once just a dream, but now is a reality.
