Kitten.S Kids

## DISCLAIMER

Since Bulgaria doesn't have access to American cable, therefore they have made their version of PBS Kids. This page doesn't claim that Kitten.s Kids ripped off PBS Kids, so that's why this page exists.

Kitten.S Kids is an English speaking children's channel (the headquarters are located in Sofia, Bulgaria) that launched on January 1, 2007. Since then, the channel has introduced fun idents thanks to its 2 popular mascots: a boy wearing a sunshine yellow shirt, indigo shorts and pink socks (Plamen) and a young Asian girl wearing a pink headband on her head and a purple dress that has a pink stripe tied around it (June, the Little Einsteins character).

## Shows

There were many shows that aired on the channel since early January 2007.

* Alice in Ponyland (2007-2011)
* Ben Kevin's Secret Surprise (2008-2009)
* Hokey the Bear (2010-2017)
* Timmy's Alphabet Show n' Tell (2012-)

## Idents (2007-2014)

### Plamen The Thinking Boy & June The Running Girl

The first 2 idents show the aforementioned mascots doing something in a hot pink background (June's hot pink background has 2 purple stripes, one that's thin and one that's large, 5 feet away from the thin line), Plamen points his index finger directly at his head and starts scratching his head, thinking about something, whilst June is seen running while jumping over the purple lines. A great big smile on Plamen's face appears, meanwhile June touches the screen with her right hand. A high-pitched voice then says BOINK! along with a group of kids singing "Kitten.S Kids!". These idents are still seen on TV today (as well as the newer 2014 idents), due to the massive wave of nostalgia people got when they first saw these on the internet.

**Fun fact:** Qubo Logo was the vocalist for the Kitten.S Kids jingle, starting with the Plamen ident. The re-used vocals can be heard during a random segment after commercial breaks.

### Justin Time Cloth

June plays with a tablecloth that has a picture of Justin, Olive and Squidgy on it, but accidentally and rudely throws it near Plamen's face. The Kitten.S Kids Plamen logo and its URL address (kitten.skids.org) appears on the tablecloth at the end.

### Art Museum

Plamen and June pretend to act like Leonardo Da Vinci and Mozart at an art museum. The Kitten.S Kids Plamen logo then comes to life and starts breathing dust (or cinnamon) at the end.

### Magnetic Pencils

Plamen uses tiny magnetic pencils to make a small tower using magnetic balls, but then June enters the room and the gold piece that is attached to her ponies' dollhouse connects to the magnet tower. The Kitten.S Kids June logo is seen printed on the dollhouse near the end.

### Selfie

June gets a new camera (specifically from the Canon brand) and starts to record a funny video of Plamen in the kitchen, then takes a selfie of herself, in which the Kitten.S Kids June logo appears on the camera's screen at the end.

## Justin Time Of The Week

Kitten.S Kids was infamous for their Justin Time Of The Week shorts featuring the Plamen mascot (voiced by the 2003 old splat Nickelodeon logo who sounds like Gage Munroe) on their website. The shorts start off with Plamen saying "Hey, I'm Plamen! And I've got a ton of Kitten.S Kids videos for you to watch!" and pulling the Justin Time lever to get a crazy colourful surprise. In the Pony Box short, Plamen says something different, addressing the viewer that he/she is one of his best friends. And instead of Justin Time, there are a bunch of pony stuff hidden in a pink toy box, most likely a reference to *My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic*.

## Rebrand Idents (2014-)

Starting from 2014-present, new 2d animated idents have been introduced featuring the redesigned June with her 2 new siblings: a young blonde-haired girl wearing a pink shirt completed with a lavender skirt (Tanya Josie) and an African-American boy wearing a blue shirt and green shorts (Tommy), replacing Plamen and making him be stuck in the logo forever. The new idents include the aforementioned mascots doing fun activities in colourful backgrounds. At the end of each ident, only the Plamen logo is shown since June's new look retires the old June logo, therefore the old June logo will never be used ever again.
