The TVI Take

A Jack Russell Terrier imagines himself as characters from classic literature. Each episode adapts a literary work — Don Quixote, Oliver Twist, Romeo and Juliet — while paralleling it with a modern storyline.

Exceptional educational value from genuine literary exposure. Cognitive demands come from tracking the parallel narratives and understanding the literary themes. The show that introduced millions of children to the Western canon.
