Don't Eat the Neighbours is an off-the-wall new comedy about Rabbit, a super-cool single parent, living in a semi-detached house, and his neighbor Wolf who feels it's his obligation to try to eat him! Fortunately, Wolf never quite gets the hang of the hunting thing, and fast-thinking Rabbit always manages to elude Wolf's evil schemes.

Then there's the younger generation. Lucy, Rabbit's smart and sparky 9-year old daughter is friends with Wolf's couch potato sons, Simon and Barry. They're much more interested in the concerns of modern kids than their ancestors' primitive and instinctive pursuits of hunting and foraging.

Adding a contemporary twist to the age-old rivalries between neighbors as well as the conflict between generations, Don't Eat the Neighbours is madcap family comedy at its best.

Don't Eat the Neighbours features puppets and computer graphics created by Neal Scanlon (Babe, 101 Dalmatians) as well as the voice talents of Simon Callow (Shakespeare in Love, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and comedian Patrick McKenna (Traders, The Red Green Show).

Flipper and Lopaka

Flipper, the clever lovable dolphin, has held a place in our hearts - not to mention our TV and movie screens - since 1964. Now, in the animated series Flipper and Lopaka, a whole new world is opened up, with new friendships, new rivalries, exotic new locations, and exciting new adventures, both above and below the sea.

Flipper takes on these new adventures with his friend Lopaka, a young Polynesian boy. On dry land Lopaka is like any other 11 year-old boy, but underwater he can understand and speak the language of sea creatures.

Together, the friends visit Flipper's home, the magical, watery realm of Quetzo, and continually work to foil the plans of Dexter, a megalomaniac Octopus and his snaky sidekick Serge. Along the way, they are helped by Flipper's underwater pals - Puffy the blowfish, Ray the manta ray and Otty the otter - as well as Lopaka's family and fellow islanders. These affable allies are more than a match for Dexter and his henchman.

What About Mimi?

Savvy 11 year-old Mimi Morton, problem solver extraordinaire, has the best intentions when it comes to helping her parents Saffron and Marv, her brothers Jason and Bradley, and her best friends Russel and Elaine. Sensitive and perceptive, Mimi is swift to size-up their shortcomings and leap into action on their behalf. That's when the hilarious complications begin!

Watch as Mimi tries to keep Bradley from going to "genius" school. See what Mimi does when the new track coach at school wreaks havoc. Be there when Mimi looks after Elaine's pets with disastrous results. Find out what happens when Mimi and her friends spend a weekend in the school "biosphere" experiment. The fun and laughter never stop.

Luckily, Mimi is as resourceful as she is impulsive, and things seem to have a way of working themselves out-albeit in startling and unexpected ways. At the end of the day, we can be sure Mimi has learned a lot from her mistakes, but don't worry - she'll be ready to make more tomorrow!
