Product Description
African folk tales, often collected from village elders, are in danger of being lost today as the practice of oral storytelling diminishes. HBO Family feature "Magic Cellar" brings this great tradition to a whole new generation of children in a groundbreaking animated series. "Magic Cellar" follows the adventures of Pula, a young African girl who stumbles upon an enchanted world in her grandmother's basement and encounters a talking gecko and a wise old cricket, among other fascinating creatures. Pula and her friends -- Marcus (an African mixed-race boy), Navitha (an Indian girl), Josh (a Caucasian boy) and Melissa (an Asian girl) -- take on various roles and interact with animals in each of the stories they tell.
