Baby Lemmings Brings Forest Fun to Cartoonito This May

Get ready for giggles, games and gleeful chaos as Cartoonito welcomes Baby Lemmings, the irresistibly cute, curious and endlessly playful new preschool series from the award‑winning Hari Studios. Launching Monday, 25 May at 17:00 on DStv channel 302, the series brings two brand‑new episodes every weekday, perfect for little ones winding down after school.

Bursting with gentle slapstick, heartfelt moments and laugh‑out‑loud surprises, Baby Lemmings invites young viewers into a world where every day is a new adventure and every challenge can be solved through play. It’s a warm, joyful celebration of curiosity, friendship and the magic of seeing the world through a child’s eyes.

A new preschool adventure inspired by a global favourite.

Building on the worldwide success of Grizzy & the Lemmings, a long‑time favourite on Cartoonito Africa, this brand-new preschool spin‑off brings that same beloved energy from the Lemmings to a new generation, reshaped into a warm, playful world perfect for little ones.

 Meet the Baby Lemmings and their forest friends.

For the Baby Lemmings, the whole world is a playground, and there’s nothing better than sharing this life philosophy with whoever needs it in the Canadian forest. When you see life from the Lemmings’ side, you can overcome any difficulty and have a whole lot of fun while doing so!

At the heart of the series are the Baby Lemmings and their forest friends, each bringing their own unique personality to the wilderness:

• Baby Lemmings – Curious, joyful, innocent and never tired, the Baby Lemmings see the world as a party filled with wonder, turning every moment into a new game even when things get tricky for their forest neighbours
• Baby Chipmunk – Fiercely individualistic and obsessed with hoarding hazelnuts, Baby Chipmunk refuses to share anything, not realising that true happiness comes from being useful to others rather than owning everything
• Baby Moose – Baby Moose treats every new sight and sound as potential danger, constantly panicking in an effort to feel safe, though curiosity could show him that the world is full of wonderful things to enjoy
• Baby Beaver – A determined builder prone to dramatic, over-the-top tantrums when things don’t go his way, Baby Beaver slowly learns that adding joy and humour to his work makes everything feel lighter
• Baby Lynx – Hyperactive and competitive, Baby Lynx constantly tries to outdo the Baby Lemmings but often gets into trouble because she rushes instead of working with others – a lesson she’s still learning
• Baby Raccoon – A tidy-obsessed little cleaner who wishes the whole forest were spotless, Baby Raccoon discovers through the Baby Lemmings that life (and fun) can be wonderfully messy
• Baby Owl – Longing for quiet daytime sleep in her tree-hole home, Baby Owl’s clumsy attempts to communicate with the noisy Baby Lemmings often escalate misunderstandings. However, a little patience would make everything fall into place

Together, these lovable characters bring warmth, humour and gentle emotional learning to every episode, making Baby Lemmings a perfect co‑viewing experience for parents and their kids.

 Tune in for daily adventures.
