What happens

Noah's Island is a British animated television series for children made by the creators of The Animals of Farthing Wood and commissioned by the European Broadcasting Union between 1997 and 1999. It was directed by Emile Bourget, Philippe LeClerc, Alan Simpson, and Frederic Trouillot, with the episodes written by Steve Walker. Each of the 39 episodes ran for 28 minutes. Although not as successful as Farthing Wood, it was fairly popular on Saturday mornings in many British households, particularly with its younger demographic. Inspired by the Bible story Noah's Ark, the series was praised for its characterization, imaginative storylines and for introducing ecological themes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
