On the new season of the PBS children's series, debuting Aug. 14, fans of 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood' will recognize the latest addition to the cast.
Memories from our childhood are an interesting thing. Often we remember a sound, an image or a feeling. The memory embraces us and transports us back to another time.” returns for a second season on Aug. 14, it’s going to try. The puppet-based series, which streams on PBS Kids and is broadcast on PBS affiliates, is a joint production of Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures, and it follows the charming adventures of Donkey Hodie and her best friends, Purple Panda , Bob Dog and Duck Duck .
Vandenberg, who also designed a miniature, finger-puppet-size Trolley used for long shots, describes a construction that is much like a surfboard, foam covered with fiberglass. The seats and floorboards can come in and out so that cameras can go inside and Trolley can be shot from different angles to make room for the puppets. Trolley sits on foam blocks to help it achieve its playful movements.
Seeing Trolley again will be a trip down memory lane for those who grew up watching and loving “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” and Trolley will offer much for the show’s preschool demographic. One of the first lessons Trolley will teach its young viewers is learning how to communicate with someone who doesn’t communicate the same way you do.
