Ballybraddan

Ballybraddan is an Irish animated television series first broadcast on RTÉ Two in April 2009. The series is produced in Ireland by Monster Animation in association with Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and the Irish Film Board.

Ballybraddan, based on an original idea by Gerard O'Rourke, was created and written by Noel McGee and Nora King, and directed by Jason Tammemagi. It comprises 20 X 13 minute episodes, and the action covers nine months in the lives of a disparate and lively group of characters. The series focuses on the fifth class pupils of Ballybraddan National School. The show follows them through their challenges and experiences they face through life in Ballybraddan, the fictional Irish town in which they live. However, it is their love of hurling, an Irish sport and pastime, that brings the characters together, and allows them to cope with life's challenges.
