And just like that Season 2 part one is available to buy. If you’re in South Africa keep you eyes peeled at all major DVD stores for a copy. Or if you prefer shopping online you can pick up a copy here.
Just by the way Season 2 part one has 7 episodes on it as well as some bonus Bokkie animations to enjoy. The remainder of season 2 is still running its course in Nu Metro 3D cinemas after which these episodes will also be released on DVD.
We posted previously on the fantastic Jungle Beat, Bokkie and Sharkie summit we held at Nu Metro. Here’s a video wrap up of the event.
The day has arrived. We have finished production of Season 2 of Jungle Beat. Woohoo! This is a very exciting time for us as Season 2 has been in the works for a long time now. The first half of season 2 will be available on DVD later in the year, while the other episodes can be seen in Nu Metro 3D cinemas. It has already started being broadcast in France and Italy and will soon make its way around the world to a tv near you.
And where does that leave us? With Season 3 to start! Scripts are already being written and the team is excited to grow and speed up so we can finish Season 3 by the end of next year! Animation sure isn’t quick.

Some of the Sunrise team braved the early morning to catch a flight to Durban to attend the launch of Sharkie, and boy was it worth it. It was a morning full of real fanboy moments.

Ok, quick quiz: How did chameleons get the ability to change colour?
Don’t know?

But hurry, this episode is only showing until the end of June, after which we’ll be showcasing what happens to Giraffe when he wakes up with a stiff neck. Ouch.

We are thrilled to announce that Bokkie recently won a Sports Industry award for Best Integrated Sport Marketing Campaign. Phil was there with to receive the award along with Sarah Williams from SA Rugby and were handed the trophy by Linford Christie and Oscar Pistorius. Unfortunately Bokkie was not on hand to receive the award himself, it would have been nice to see him and Linford in a race.
