Elliot Moose
Bear Care/ Dragonhorse/ A Space Oddity/ Tuneless
Elliot Moose is an optimistic, energetic, awkward, curious and truly innocent five year old whose various adventures with the other stuffed toys form the basis of these stories. Along with his best friend Socks the Monkey, Elliot sets out to explore and learn about his world. It's a world where they free their imaginations, have their adventures and share their friendship. LIVE ACTION: BEAR CARE: Elliot, Socks and Paisley take a trip to the North Pole. Not only do they see a walrus and a caribou; they see a polar bear too! That is, with a little help from Lionel. ANIMATION: DRAGONHORSE: Lord Paisley and Lady Amy are trapped in the tall tower. They are saved, thanks to their friends Sir Elliot, Squire Socks and even Drusilla Dragon. ANIMATION: 201- A SPACE ODDITY: Mong the Mousenificent has stolen the green cheese! Captain Elliot Moosester and Rocket Socks catch the deviously clever thief red handed- only to have him escape again. LIVE ACTION:TUNELESS: Elliot can't make a single note on his trumpet and not even Paisley and his encyclopedia can help. Maybe the problem isn't music related but monkey related!
