The Adventures of Papito

When the sea is in trouble, Captain Papito doesn't fight the “villain.” He finds out why they're hurting, and helps them change.

A 3D animated series for ages 6–9, grounded in developmental psychology. Every episode starts with the family cooking a Turkish dish and ends with a mission solved through science and invention.
