Based on the books by Laurent de Brunhoff, Babar is an animated show about a young orphaned elephant who finds the strength to rise above the challenges he faces, including the death of his parents, as he journeys through life.

Set in medieval times, Jane and the Dragon is an animated show that hails from Martin Baynton's best selling books about a middle class girl named Jane. She is raised in the Royal Court as a Knight-in-Training after she demonstrates her courage by leaving the castle to conquer the local dragon. The giant green Dragon, whose sense of humor exceeds his ferocity, instead becomes Jane's best friend and a part of the castle community. In each episode, Jane encounters a challenge that tests her problem-solving skills and requires her to demonstrate her strength of character as a Knight of the King's Guard. Sometimes Jane learns a moral lesson, and other times she uses analytical ability to illustrate how a problem can be made less complicated and easily solved.

Based on Mordecai Richler's books, Jacob Two-Two is an animated show about the challenges of a little boy, the youngest of five siblings. Jacob is so small for his age he often repeats himself just so he can be heard. His parents are compassionate, but his siblings are not, and Jacob has to be resourceful and inventive in learning how to assert himself, overcome his fears, get along with others, and still enjoy his childhood. He manages to turn even the most inconsequential events into adventures with his friends, Buford and Renee. Every adventure teaches him a life lesson, from learning how to be responsible to figuring out how to manage a bully. In addition, there are implicit lessons that promote a love for learning and language development usually conveyed through Jacob's father, a full-time writer.

Sabrina half witch, half human. Parallel to her normal life, Sabrina leads a secret life, one in which she struggles with courses in witchcraft, with witch-world extra curricular activities, and with the mysteries of how to be a good witch. When other kids are in social studies or math classes, Sabrina may be in the basement, studying potions or witchcraft ethics. When other kids struggle with how they can make up for a bad grade or a bad day, Sabrina struggles with whether or not to use forbidden magic to fix things like bad grades or a bad day. As she struggles to understand both her human and witchly sides, Sabrina serves as an idea role model for 8 to 12-year-olds. She has conflicts and problems; she is self-assured and very uncertain. She meets the world with a positive attitude, a can-do kind of spirit, and all of the uncertainty that characterizes the pre-teen world. She wants to fit in, but she is different and she treasures that difference. She wants to do things the right way, but sometimes is tempted by the easy way. She wants to be a good student, a good friend, a good person, but like most kids her age, she sometimes stumbles. Fortunately, Sabrina is the kind of self-reliant, competent, and positive pre-teen who is open to learning from her mistakes with the help of family, friends, teachers, and last but far from least, Salem. Surrounded, supported, and guided by attractive characters, Sabrina is an ideal role model to help middle childhood viewers understand many of the social issues and character traits they confront in their day-to-day lives. The issues are presented concretely; solutions and alternatives are portrayed in terms that make sense to 8 to 12-year-olds. And as Sabrina learns, so too do viewers. In short, Sabrina's Secret Life is a prime example of how entertainment and pro-social education can be combined.

However, he does get noticed when he inadvertently lands himself in adventures that involve mysterious neighbors, international spies, and villains that come in all shapes and sizes. Often accompanied by his closest pals, Buford and Renee, Jacob Two-Two finds innovative ways to get in and out of hot water as he tumbles through a series of exciting adventures with honesty, integrity and a whole lot of determination.

As Strawberry and her many friends explore the richly-imagined world of Strawberry land Strawberry Fields, Cookie Corner, Orange Acres, Honeysuckle Haven and beyond they discover adventure, delight, fantasy, whimsy, humor, excitement, and music. And of course, they also encounter occasional problems. The interaction among Strawberry and her friends as they explore their world and deal with the problems inherent in their adventures offers a natural opportunity to present (as opposed to preach) pro-social beliefs, values, and behaviors.
