What is Pacca Alpaca: Brown about?
Pacca Alpaca: Brown is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca shows them the colour brown 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. It opens with a painter's easel and the word "Colours!", and then the word BROWN in big letters.
From there, the colour is called out as brown things come on the screen, in real photographs and film, with Pacca popping up among them: dressed as a postman with a brown parcel, swinging from a tree, or sitting inside a cardboard box. Children see loaves of bread, coffee beans and a cup of coffee, coconuts, cashews and almonds, a pile of potatoes and a shiny conker. There are brown animals too: a lion resting on the grass, sea lions on a jetty, and an animal very like Pacca's own cousin. And there are brown places: a treehouse, a great canyon and the sand of a desert, where Pacca's carousel floats by.
At the end comes the challenge: "Your turn! Find something brown!" The video lasts about three minutes and is not music-free.
