What is Pacca Alpaca: Silver and Gold about?
Pacca Alpaca: Silver and Gold is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca shows them two shiny colours, silver and gold, 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 episode is part of his colours series, and it opens with a painter's easel and the word "Colours!"
Then the two names are called out, again and again, as silver and gold things come on the screen in real photographs and film. Children meet a street performer painted all in silver, and see a pair of gold shoes, a row of trophies, shining silver racing cars, gold pineapples, a sparkly gold coat, a tower of silver and gold macarons, a silver toaster, a gold balloon dog, a glittering disco ball and trays of silver earrings. Pacca joins in all the way through: he wears a winner's medal beside the trophies, bakes with a silver food mixer in a chef's hat, and, after a visit to a gold-covered moon lander, floats over the grey surface of the moon in a spacesuit.
At the end, the video hands the game to children: "Your turn! Find something silver or gold!" It lasts about four minutes and is not music-free.
