It's A Big Big Region

It’s a Big Big Region is a musical puppetry TV series that started airing on Spring in 2019.

It is hosted by Ellen Fritz and is set on a big island split into 4 regions.

It was created by Michael Kyman (the creator of Mouse in the Big Red House, Annie’s Helpline, and Giggles & Scribble).

## Characters

* Ellen Fritz - The 12-year-old host of the show. She incorporates sign language into the show.

### Main

* Shaggy - A white and blue yeti who can survive in all regions by putting ice in his fur and lives in the arctic.
* Clawdette and Will - Two Orange twin kittens who often argue with each other and they live in the Forest. Clawdette is the practical one (despite believing that Glub the Fish can fly just like her brother believes) while Will is the goofy little brother. They look the same, except for the fact that Clawdette has eyelashes and a magenta Hairbow.
* Miko - A female keel-billed toucan who lives in the jungle and believes She needs no apparel to look pretty except for sometimes, but treats her feathers like they’re fragile, which could make her see, like She only cares for her feathers, but does care for her friends sometimes.
* Rob - A male beige elephant wearing glasses who lives in the savanna. He often feels worried about his pet beetles or anything in general cause of what happened to his dad when he was younger (as revealed in the Father’s Day episode).

### Recurring

* Scotch - A caramel-colored squirrel who lives in the Forest and is very curious about the world around him but can’t but fooled by any of the animals around him’s lies.
* Lianna - A young yeti who would sometimes accompany Shaggy in some episodes and is his niece. She first appears in “Hangout with a Lazy Yeti”, as She didn’t believe Shaggy was lazy and not fun like her mom was, but learns that He actually is fun when She meets his friends.
* Marge - A wise purple sloth wearing a Safari hat who lives in the jungle and is the oldest of all the characters, even older then Shaggy and Oboe. She speaks in a british accent.
* Glub - A green fish who lives in the water with the bridge between the jungle and the savanna. He often makes up lies that He can fly that only Clawdette and Will think is true.
* Alice - Shaggy’s twin sister who is Lianna’s mom and goes to work or does things She’s too young to go to often. She looks a lot like her twin brother, except She has pink lips instead of blue and has eyelashes like all the other female characters.
* Oscar - A Brown yeti who is Lianna’s dad and has to sleep in the day to guard the region at night, which is why Lianna spends time with her Uncle Shaggy while Alice goes to a place She can’t go to.
* Elliot (Season 2) - A Deaf Mink.
	+ Bandit and Carly - Elliot’s Parents.
* The Zebras (Mother Zebra, Zebro, and Ziza) - Three Zebras who live in the savanna with Rob.

## Trivia

* The “songbook” episodes are mostly clipshow episodes with recycled song footage but have new footage with whoever wrote the songbook with the songs in it.
* In the original Pilot, there was a character named Oboe that was written out of the final cut even though his puppet was reused for another show.
