Morris and the Magic Bell

Client: Yoto

Morris the bear LOVES Christmas, and when he discovers a mysterious bell while taking out his holiday decorations, he decides to embark on a 24-day adventure to the North Pole to find its owner. FableVision Studios’ audiyo-yo division collaborated with Yoto to create “Morris and the Magic Bell,” a magical 24-day advent-calendar-style audio story for children ages 3-14. Listeners put the card into their Yoto Player each day from December 1-24, and the card automatically updates with the next chapter of the story! 

When Morris starts decorating for Christmas on December 1, he discovers an item that does not belong to him – a shiny gold bell. He realizes that it must be Santa’s, and he makes it his mission to return it to the North Pole. Morris quickly meets Whitney on his adventure north, a rabbit who is on her own journey to the North Pole to tell Santa what she wants for Christmas since she didn’t get what she wanted for Christmas last year. Morris and Whitney journey to the North Pole together, and along the way, they learn valuable lessons and help each other grow. The series is centered on the idea that the magic of the season is self-defined and celebrated in many different ways, and features characters who teach Morris and Whitney about Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Solstice. 

FableVision’s Tone Thyne created the series and wrote the script and song lyrics. “Morris and the Magic Bell” was produced by audiyo-yo. It is available in US English, UK English, and French. The card is available to purchase on the Yoto website.
