What happens

Jelly, Ben & Pogo is an animated shorts series created and directed by Filipina-American artist Jalysa Leva. It was animated and produced by the Atlanta-based animation studio Primal Screen. The series premiered on PBS Kids on October 4, 2021, following episodes of Alma's Way. The series follows the adventures of two Filipino-American siblings, Jelly and her younger brother Ben, with their best friend Pogo, a sea monster. Each three-minute episode incorporates Filipino culture, traditions, food, and language as Jelly, Ben, and Pogo work together to solve problems using empathy and creativity. Geared toward 4-6 year-olds, each episode presents a problem and emphasizes social-emotional learning and design thinking as the three friends collaborate to find a solution.
