ABOUT CARL THE COLLECTOR

The new PBS KIDS® animated series CARL THE COLLECTOR follows Carl, a warm-hearted raccoon who loves collecting things. The show breaks new ground as the fi rst PBS KIDS series to feature central characters on the autism spectrum. Carl’s attention to detail, distinctive way of looking at the world, and extensive collections help him solve problems around Fuzzytown with his friends, Sheldon, Lotta, Nico, Arugula and Forrest. His best friend Sheldon is a beaver with a knack for looking out for the underdog. Lotta the fox is a quiet, self-assured musician who, like Carl, is autistic. Nico and Arugula are twin bunny sisters with opposite approaches to obstacles and opportunities. And Forrest, a hyperactive squirrel with a tree nut allergy, is always up for an adventure. The series is available in both English and Spanish.
