“Amazon Studios is ecstatic about today’s debut of Tumble Leaf, our very first original kids series. We were blown away by Kelli and Drew’s concept of Tumble Leaf from the very beginning as it perfectly fits the mold of what we’re focused on with our programming: promoting creative thinking and education through a world of adventure and play.”Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios

Created by Drew Hodges(Saturday Night Live, Community), Tumble Leaf features voice work from newcomers Christopher Downs as “Fig,” Landon Clay as “Hedge,” Addie Zintel as “Pine,” Brooke Wolloff as “Maple” and Gary Littman as “Ginkgo.”

“Drew and I have been counting down the days until we could share Fig and his wild adventures with the rest of the world. Amazon Studios provided us with the opportunity to use our creativity to develop a series for kids that helps nurture their own creative thinking skills and teaches them to embrace science through play. We couldn’t be more thrilled to give children and their families something that is as educational as it is fun.”Kelli Bixler, Tumble Leaf Executive Producer of Bix Pix Entertainment.
