Get ready to explore and embrace the beauty of nature through the ears of The Sound Collector.

Eagle Vs Bat have sent us the brand-new trailer for their new show. Described as a masterful mix of live-action and stop-frame animation, created by Erica (formerly Darby) & Tom Angell of Eagle Vs Bat. who between them have over 40 years of experience in the animation and music industry.

The animation is narrated by Keira Knightley in her first-ever pre-school children’s show, The Sound Collector is a beautiful, heart-warming series that is bound to become a favourite among households.

The Sound Collector is all about sound – as heard through the ears of a small but very active little being called the Sound Collector, who has a passion for sound despite being hard of hearing.

The Sound Collector spends his days discovering and using new sounds that he finds on his adventures: the blooping and popping of sea anemones, the hissing of the tide drawing back along a pebble beach or even the snores and snuffles of his best friend and pet, Mole. He is endlessly fascinated by the world around him and whether he loves sound because of, or despite his hearing, it is the focus of his life in an incredibly positive way.

This show is not about being deaf, it is however placing somebody who wears hearing aids at the front and centre of a show for young audiences, which is remarkably rare.

Throughout this series, children, as well as adults, will be inspired to go out and explore natural environments – seeking joy and wonderment in the little things and gaining a new appreciation for the world around them. Mindfulness also plays a key role in the show’s messaging. With techniques now being taught in schools as a stress-reducing aid for children, the show’s concentration on the small and real details of the immediate world in front of us will leave audiences feeling relaxed and even meditative, whatever their age!

The Sound Collector will air daily at 10:20am on ITVBe and ITVX from Monday 20th February.

ITVBe is available to watch on BT (channel 28) Freeview (channel 28), Sky (channel 131) and Virgin TV (channel 119)
