About Raa Raa the Noisy Lion
Raa Raa the Noisy Lion invites preschoolers into the bustling Jingly Jangly Jungle where a cheerful crew explores everyday puzzles with good humor and plenty of heart. The stories focus on friendship, listening, and clear communication rather than danger or drama. Raa Raa leads the group with warmth, while his friends Topsy the giraffe, Huffty the elephant, Crocky the crocodile, Zebby the Zebra, and Ooo Ooo the cheeky monkey each bring their own quirks to the mix. In each brief adventure the team notices a problem, tests ideas, and shares what they think in simple language, turning noisy moments into chances to learn new words and how to work together. Bright colors and catchy rhythms keep the pace light and inviting.
Created by Curtis Jobling, the series released in 2011 as a bright animated entry for early learning. Tyler Coleman voices Raa Raa, and Lorraine Kelly provides the Narrator role guiding young viewers through the jungle. The show relies on simple sentences, warm voice work, and friendly backgrounds to invite participation.
