Big Lizard

CGI / Series / Comedy / Science / Adventure - 2024

Big Lizard is a brand-new 3D CGI adventure series for preschoolers from Beakus and Je Suis Bien Content, distributed by Aardman. Voiced by Josh Widdicombe, Mandip Gill, Dan Chambers, and Lois Sefton.

After crash-landing on planet Proxima, 7-year-old astronaut Cosima meets her larger-than-life best-friend-forever Big Lizard! Together they have a whole prehistoric world to explore and fun to be had guided by Cosima's Dad and on-board supercomputer D.O.R.I.S. (Digital Online Robotic Intelligence System). Cosima loves nothing more than hanging out with her best buddy, Big Lizard, but life on Proxima isn't all plain-sailing - this is a wild world, a gigantic one, which would test the skills of even the best space explorer. Based on a real exoplanet, Proxima B, is the closest habitable planet to ours.

Cosima and Big Lizard adventure around a world full of fascinating pre-dinosaur creatures, exploring caves, volcanoes, swamps, deserts, and underwater environments teeming with ancient life. Along the way they meet Ammon the handy ammonite, Twig the giant millipede, Rex the energetic trilobite, and Dunk the ever-reliable dunkleosteus. Cosima helps Big Lizard solve problems for their friends using the perfect blend of human ingenuity and natural know how - always making it home in time for tea! Meanwhile back at their broken ship, space explorer Dad juggles his life as a parent, scientist, and chief ship-fixer, whilst all the while smoothing out their glitching supercomputer, D.O.R.I.S.

Big Lizard blends together adventure and discovery with subtle learning about science - from solar power to friction, the chemistry of baking, prehistoric flora and fauna, magnetite, and a triple solar eclipse! The series also explores social themes of friendship, courage, perseverance, patience, communication and understanding.
