The series features actors, such as Robin Williams, Raul Julia, Laura Dern, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, John Hurt, Danny Glover and others narrating children's books that are either well known in the United States or around the world.
The series made use of a limited animation technique whereby still images are moved throughout the scene, similar to modern motion comics.
The stories were released on CDs, VHS, and DVD by several distributors, including Random House Home Video (1985 to 1986), Sony Video Software (1987 to 1990), and Uni Distribution Corp. Rabbit Ears Productions was acquired by Vanguard Animation in early 2024; the studio then began uploading full episodes of its programs onto its official YouTube channel.
[citation needed] From 1991 to 1995, Rabbit Ears Productions created the next set of stories that were collected from around the world,[1] including the countries of Russia, France, Jamaica, England, Germany, Colombia, Scandinavia, Japan and India.
