What is Pacca Alpaca: Black and White about?
Pacca Alpaca: Black and White is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca shows them the colours black and white in the world around them.
Pacca Alpaca is a fantastically fluffy guide who travels the world with children, discovering languages and cultures along the way. This short episode is part of his colours series, and it opens with a painter's easel and the word "Colours!" Then the two words BLACK and WHITE appear in big letters, and the names are called out as each new thing comes on the screen.
Pacca pops up in real photographs and film, sometimes hiding beside a black bin or relaxing in a bath full of white bubbles. Children see a white swan on the grass and a black crow on a bench; black shoes, a black taxi and a grand black front door; a white flower and white bulbs of garlic; and things that are both black and white at once: a zebra, a cow, the keys of a piano and a spotty Dalmatian dog running on the grass.
At the end, the video hands the game over to children: "Your turn! Find something black or white!" It lasts about two minutes, so it is easy to watch again, and it is not music-free.
