What is Pacca Alpaca: Purple about?
Pacca Alpaca: Purple is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca, who has plenty of purple in his own fluffy coat, shows them the colour purple 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 the word PURPLE, spelled out in purple beads, ribbon and paint.
The colour is then called out as purple things come on the screen in real photographs and film. Children see purple flowers, a grand purple front door, hands covered in purple paint, a sand timer, a crate of red onions (which are purple on the outside), a vacuum cleaner, a purple balloon being blown up, a pair of armchairs, a ring, a wheelie bin, a red cabbage, a row of shiny suitcases and a painted house beside a canal. Pacca joins in everywhere: he hoovers the floor, sits in an armchair, wears a purple top hat and a monocle, and floats past the canal houses in a boat.
At the end, a few of the pictures come back as snapshots, and then the challenge: "Your turn! Find something purple!" The video lasts about two minutes and is not music-free.
