Status: Partially Found
Nanalan’ was a series of Canadian puppet shorts created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley, running from 1999 to 2004. The series starred a 3-year-old puppet girl named Mona, her dog Russell, and her grandmother, Nana Bea.[1] The shorts centered around Mona spending her days in Nana Bea’s backyard. 71 shorts in total were produced for YTV in Canada, and Nick Jr. in the U.S.
The shorts proved so popular, that Nanalan’ began airing as a series of 22-minute episodes. The 22-minute episodes were produced in late 2004 and aired on CBC in January 2005. While it is currently unknown when the series ended, it is known that 43 episodes were produced.
While most of the episodes (miniseries and half-hour program) have since gone missing,[2] 4 episodes (2 in the miniseries, and 2 in the half-hour program) have been found, being uploaded to the Nanalan' official YouTube channel.
