This educational content in this program is recommended for children ages 5-10.
This delightful Discovery Theater original reimagines folk tales from Asia with a modern touch and plenty of fresh fun. Audiences learn a little about each story's culture, try out Asian languages and enjoy Asian tales both ancient and new. The Tiger, the Thief, and the Dried Persimmon (Korea), puts a new spin on mistaken identity with a very silly tiger, a babysitting grandma, and dried fruit. The Boy and the Fly (Vietnam) is a sweetly silly slapstick romp with a little lesson thrown in. The Wise Mole (Japan), updates an ancient story of young love – complete with cell phones and iPods. The mythic Four Dragon Rivers of China features beautiful flying dragon puppets.
