Welcome Aboard the S.S. FableVision

Strap in and set sail on the S.S. FableVision during this summer vacation! To help your children continue learning once school’s out, FableVision picked a few pieces from our portfolio to bring you and your child on an all-expenses-paid cruise from the comfort of your home.

Through these pieces, your kids will travel throughout the galaxy, exploring Georgia with Savannah, playing at the GASHA GO! Arcade, and more. With pieces for a variety of ages, there’s sure to be a stop for you and your child to visit and enjoy! 


GASHA GO! Arcade

First stop as you board the ship – visit the GASHA GO! Arcade on the S.S. FableVision and assist the Gashlings in their adventures.

Created for Georgia Public Broadcasting in its goal to provide a computer science curriculum for underrepresented students, the GASHA GO! World is full of playful and imaginative creatures who come alive at night to build toys. 

In Bubble Build, kids learn numeracy and literacy by helping Mash and his friends solve math problems to refill the toy capsules in the empty machine. 

Claw Control helps players practice resiliency, persistence, and grit as they help the Gashlings organize their tasks to efficiently create arcade toys. 

Play the games and watch the animated shorts about Gashlings for free on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s website!


Pinna Original Yes No Audio

Travel can be unpredictable. Find yourself trapped in a haunted house, sinking ship, or the Marshmallow Dream Forest in the Pinna Original Yes No Audio adventures.

Created by audiyo-yo, FableVision’s podcast division, this is an interactive audio experience that lets listeners drive the narrative and create their own adventure. By answering yes-or-no questions, explorers are led through the story, choosing their own path. They have five minutes to escape, or else they’re stuck in the story forever!

Pinna Original Yes No Audio is available through Pinna’s website with a subscription or a 7-day-free trial.


So Few of Me Animated Storybook 

Stop by a meadow with beautiful flowers where you can follow Leo as he struggles to deal with his overscheduled life and learns the importance of leisure time. In this Vooks animated storybook of Peter. H Reynolds’ So Few of Me, Reynolds invites us to include “time to dream” on our to-do lists throughout busy summer vacations and daily chores. 

The animated storybook, along with the rest of Vooks’ catalog, is available with a subscription.


Georgia Race Through Time 

Next, visit Georgia and time travel in Georgia Race Through Time with Savannah, an antiques collector. In this game created for Georgia Public Broadcasting, Savannah and her trusty canine companion Peaches follow cryptic clues that take them to locations throughout Georgia. Bonus: Savannah has a special gift to see back in time when she’s close to or touching a historical artifact. 

This game is available for free on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s website.


Zebra Penguin Skunk: Beach

It’s island time – visit the beach with Zebra, Penguin, and Skunk and get crafty with problem solving! The video, created by FableVision for Sesame Studios, a kids’ YouTube destination from the makers of Sesame Street, teaches children about friendship and ingenuity. The three black-and-white friends work together against the elements to build an elaborate sandcastle.

The short is available to watch on Sesame Street’s YouTube channel.


NoiseFilter Animated Video Series

Travel into the body with Dr. MarkAlain Dery and Dr. Eric Griggs (Doc Giggs), along with special guests Irma Thomas and Milan Nicole Sherry

FableVision and NoiseFilter collaborated in this animated series that supports NoiseFilter in its mission to reduce health disparities and achieve health equity. The timely videos demystify how vaccines work and how variants evolve, the science behind clinical trials, and Hepatitis C and HIV education.

All videos are available for free on NoiseFilter's website.


Discover SCIENCE Videos

Check in with friends Drew and Nia throughout your travels and continue to learn about the human body!

To help bring preventative health activities to children and families, Children’s National Hospital (CNH) partnered with FableVision for animated shorts featuring two tweens who met at CNH. The videos aim to destigmatize topics on how bodies work by focusing on blood, germs, mucus, digestion, sleep, and stress. 

All videos in this series are available on CNH's YouTube


Cyberchase Fractions Quest

For your last stop, blast into space to learn about fractions with Cyberchase Fractions Quest! In this game created for PBS KIDS and based on Cyberchase, kids use their mathematical sequences and problem-solving skills to outsmart the villain Hacker, who captured the CyberSquad.
