64 Zoo Lane

An Vrombaut's first major project on his own is a very sweet and nice little series consisting of bedtime stories. The idea is simple and - as is often the case with children's series - all the more effective because of it; it is well thought out in any case. The adventures a little girl has with her friends from the zoo are a nice and simple story with an educational factor. This one doesn't come up short, but it also doesn't overtake the whole series in an unpleasant and fun way. The voice acting is more than solid and the art design sketchy yet quite clear and distinct, sweet it certainly is.

Vrombaut hasn't created a masterpiece here, but an undeniably good series for kids who want to be tucked into bed at night. Alternating this series every now and then with reading a children's book aloud should bring joy to the whole family in meaningful activity. It's nice when children are taught something without propaganda and have the chance to learn. Vrombaut's idea is, contrary to many a terribly religious children's series, simply fundamentally democratic.
