Wind Sun Sky’s educational eco-content initiative Future Chicken lands at YouTube Kids

Multi-platform initiative Future Chicken has a presence on social gaming platform Roblox

YouTube Kids has picked up Vancouver-based Wind Sun Sky Entertainment’s eco-focused animated content Future Chicken.

Future Chicken is a multi-platform climate education initiative created to counter eco-anxiety among children. The Future Chicken digital universe features a variety of entertaining and educational experiences for kids aged 6-10 that uses humour and positivity to inspire and foster hope for the future.

The content follows the time-travelling adventures of the titular character, who journeys back and forth between the present day and the year 2050, demonstrating how the small actions we take today can create a better, more sustainable future.

The initiative comes from a collaboration between Wind Sun Sky’s CEO Catherine Winder and Annabel Slaight, founding chair of the ClearWater Foundation educational charity and co-founder of nature magazine OWL Kids.

The initial content featured on YouTube Kids will include ‘ecotainment’ shorts about the good things happening today having a positive impact on the future; The Future Chicken Today Show, where Future Chicken interviews real-life celebrities, activists, scientists and kids who are passionate about protecting the planet; a new series of comedy shorts called Chicken In; and a new Future Chicken theme song and video.

Future Chicken can also be found on social gaming platform Roblox through its interactive website, and on Spotify, Apple and podcast company Realm’s Pinna with Future Chicken Squawkarama: A Planet Positive Podcast.
