Nanalan’ was a series of Canadian puppet shorts created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley, running from 1999 to 2004. The series starred a 3-year-old puppet girl named Mona, her dog Russell, and her grandmother, Nana Bea.[1] The shorts centered around Mona spending her days in Nana Bea’s backyard. 71 shorts in total were produced for YTV in Canada, and Nick Jr. in the U.S.
The shorts proved so popular, that Nanalan’ began airing as a series of 24-minute episodes. The 24-minute episodes were produced in late 2004 and aired on CBC in January 2005. While it is currently unknown when the series ended, it is known that 43 episodes were produced.
While most of the episodes (miniseries and half-hour program) have since gone missing,[2] 8 episodes (4 in the miniseries, and 3 in the half-hour program) have been found, 6 of which being uploaded to the Nanalan' official YouTube channel.
Availability
In addition to the show's half-hour program airing on CBC, it also aired in the U.S. on select PBS member stations during the PBS Kids block; however, no one recorded any episode while it was still on. The English-language YouTube channel for Encore+ carried half-hour episodes of the show, which again have since been deleted. Doctor Jay has found a lot of episodes from the Nanalan' miniseries, all of which have been uploaded to his channel until they were removed. Below is a list of Nanalan' episodes.
