I am a Moblee, healthy and strong, I promise to move, all day long!
The Moblees is a Canadian Preschool Show created in response to a rise in obesity and lack of exercise in children across the world. The series aims to encourage healthy habits such as nutrition, sleep, and, most importantly, exercise, in a similar vein to to LazyTown and Boohbah.
The series premiered in 2014 on Kids' CBC. The entire series is available to stream on Youtube.
