Singapore Zoo’s parent company, the Mandai Wildlife Group, has partnered with kids entertainment specialist CAKE on “Ranger Buddies”, a long-form animated action-adventure series.

The series extends the edutainment brand developed by Mandai X, the group’s venture-building and impact acceleration arm, for the first time.

“Ranger Buddies” takes inspiration from the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore’s wildlife and nature destination and home to Bird Paradise, Rainforest Wild Adventure, Night Safari, River Wonders and Singapore Zoo.

Currently in production, the 26 x 11-minute series aimed at 4-6 year olds will premiere on Mediacorp in Singapore.

Set in the vibrant island world of Mandaria, “Ranger Buddies” follows best friends Min and Al, two young explorers who spring into action whenever their community needs them, while protecting the incredible animals that call it home. The stories blend adventure, comedy and discovery.
