Odo is a little owl who just can’t sleep Being nocturnal, he should sleep during the day – but Odo is different To keep him busy while they sleep, his parents send him to the Forest Camp where young birds of all species and sizes come to learn important life skills Odo doesn’t mind being one of the smallest birds there – he’s very comfortable in his own feathers – but he does mind being told that he can’t do something because he’s little Odo believes that he is capable of anything that he puts his mind to – but his ambitions far outweigh his ability, meaning chaos is never far away

Colin Williams, Showrunner, Sixteen South Originals, said: “I am thrilled to be in production with this very special show When we created it in 2018, we were really concerned at the growing levels of anxiety and depression in children After what our kids have been through in the last 12 months, now more than ever, this really is a show for its time We’re thrilled to have lots of new voices in our writing team and we’re not shying away from telling stories that need to be told – stories addressing racism, welcoming the migrant, adoption, loneliness and friendship groups Odo is a cheeky but lovable character with bags of self-belief To have the opportunity to once again co-produce with our beloved partners at KiKA and Milkshake! is just wonderful ” Jakub Karwowski, Odo Exec Producer, Letko, said: “Odo has a great and unique character and we wanted the style of the show to be special as well We created it in 2D with all the theatrical beauty of traditional two-dimensional animation, but adding lots of depth to the show with special 3D lighting and shading, giving the characters a 3D feel in a 2D world We’re using a warm earthy palette to evoke a feeling of being outside on a sunny day – full of colour, light and energy ” Sebastian Debertin, Odo Exec Producer, KiKA, said: “Odo is a wonderful show, warm and funny with a great big beating heart It celebrates the square peg in a world of round holes and showcases the effectiveness of believing in oneself We are sure our viewers are going to love it as much as we do!” Louise Bucknole, VP Kids Programming ViacomeCBS Networks UK & Ireland and Odo Exec Producer Milkshake! said: “Just like our pre-school audience, the young birds at Forest Camp are all growing and developing their personalities and their voices, as they discover the world around them whilst having lots of fun The series teaches them important life lessons while being friendship focussed, inclusive and full of curious wonder We know our viewers will really relate to Odo and his adventures and the series will soon be flying high!” Odo is produced by Sixteen South and Letko and co-produced with KiKA and Milkshake!
