The cast as they appeared in the half-hour episodes. From bottom right: Mona, Nana Bea, Mr Wooka and Russell.
Status: Partially Lost
Nanalan’ is a 1999-2004 Canadian preschool TV series created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley of the Grogs, a Canadian puppetry troupe. The show ran originally as 72 three-minute interstitial shorts produced for TreehouseTV in Canada and Nick Jr. in the US, and later 43 half-hour episodes for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and PBS Kids.
Production
The series features a unique mix of practical puppetry and 'cutouts on sticks', and stars an endlessly curious and imaginative 3-year-old toddler named Mona who is babysat each day by her adoring grandmother Nana Bea, with the help of Nana's terrier Russell.[1] The human puppets were heavily stylized toward the humorously grotesque in the distinctive Grogs style, with Mona's features consisting entirely of black button eyes, a wide mouth (often wide open) and two tiny pigtails on either side of her round head.
The shorts focus almost entirely on Mona's POV as she explores her Nana's backyard, with only occasional cameos from Nana herself - thus the dialogue consists almost entirely of the little girl's 'baby talk', simple phrases repeated several times and usually mispronounced (hence the series title, a Mona-esque contraction of 'Nana Land'). Plots centred around Mona and her faithful but mischievous canine sidekick (whom she calls 'Russer') having small adventures and making big discoveries about the natural world around them.
Despite some older viewers finding the show's surreal appearance and dialogue unsettling, these mini-episodes proved so popular with their target audience that Nanalan’ was developed into a half-hour series, debuting on CBC in September 2003[2]. This iteration not only featured more elaborate, conventionally attractive puppets and sets but noticeably upgraded Mona's verbal skills. To assist with this, episode plots now included much more interaction with Nana Bea, who besides teaching the gentle life lesson of the day could interpret and confirm what her tiny granddaughter - and of course 'Russer' - were trying to say.
The show also significantly expanded on Mona's world, including a first look inside Nana's house, appearances by Mona's mother (who is essentially a larger version of Mona's puppet with more elaborate clothes and hair) and visits to Nana's next-door neighbour Mr Wooka, himself an amateur puppeteer who puts on an impromptu show in each episode. The series now also included original songs and read-along segments intercut with the main plotlines.
Availability
While most of the shorts have been found, about half the episodes of the longer series are still missing, having been removed from both the CBC and PBS official sites and not having had an official release since. Nanalan' does, however, have an official YouTube channel, which is in the process of uploading many episodes of both versions.[3]
