Katie and Orbie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Katie and Orbie is an animated television series aimed at preschoolers, originally broadcast in Canada in 1994 by Global and later in the United States on the Disney Channel and on PBS.

Leslie Nielsen (from the Naked Gun films) narrates the adventures of a five-year-old and her friend, a pink alien from outer space.

The theme song was written by Edmund Eagan and sung by Mireille Eagan. Michael Nyman has also provided music for the series.

The series was produced by Lacewood Entertainment (now Amberwood Entertainment) in association with Entertainment Rights. The series was commissioned by The Family Channel in Canada and comprises 78 half hour episodes/234 x 7minute stories, with interstitials

Katie and Orbie is different from most other such series in that the scenes are shown similar to a slideshow, instead of coming to life.
