# Clay Kids

Clay Kids is a Spanish stop motion animated series created by Javier Tostado. The series narrates the adventures of seven misfit kids. It was produced by Clay Animation and distributed by Cake Entertainment and aired from 5 July 2013 to 14 August 2015.
The characters' mouths are moved to mimic the English speech, since according to the producers, the Spanish audience is already used to dubbed TV shows, and unlike an English audience would not be bothered by a lack of synchronization between mouth and speech.

## Plot

Some kids brought together by chance get into wacky situations in their magical clay town.
