A magical 3D CGI adventure series for 3-5 year olds, Tree Fu Tom follows the adventures of Tom, his best friend Twigs (voiced by David Tennant) and a cast of playmates in the miniature fantasy world, Treetopolis. When adventure turns to crisis, Tom turns to the audience for their help.

Together, the audience and Tom create 'Big World Magic' - Tom's superhero power - to resolve the crisis and save the day. Tree Fu Go!

When it comes to Fremantlemedia, they can make/distribute great shows such as America's Got Talent, The Aquabats Super Show, Max Steel, Monsuno, Grojband, and many more! This is one of them. Tree Fu Tom is also one of those shows that I think should be made for an older audience. Seriously, it's that good!
