It's a Big Big World is an American children's television show on PBS Kids, that debuted January 2, 2005. It was originally part of Miss Lori and Hooper's schedule block, but it was replaced and cancelled in that block on April 30, 2010, though it still aired as part of most stations' PBS Kids lineup in reruns. The show revolves around a group of animals living in the rainforest. The main character is Snook the sloth.
The series taped at Wainscott Studios at the East Hampton Airport industrial complex in Wainscott, New York.
Many of the puppeteers come from similar shows, primarily Bear in the Big Blue House, as well as Jellybean Jungle, and The Book of Pooh, another show involving Shadowmation, a technique that combines bunraku-style puppetry and computer-generated animation.
The characters in the show are:
A pale-throated three-toed sloth, Snook helps his friends learn all about the 'Big Big World' around them. He's slow-moving (but smart) and often takes naps, but is always up for a scientific investigation. He also enjoys singing and dancing with all of his friends in the World Tree. In addition to interacting with the other characters, Snook regularly takes the time to break the fourth wall, often to explain a fact or ask a question. Like Big Bird or Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House, Snook is a full-bodied character, the only one not requiring 3 performers.
Burdette the resplendent quetzal bird sometimes seems like a controlling older sister, who always thinks she knows more than everyone around her. However, Burdette seems sincere, and while investigating things with her friends in the World Tree, she's sometimes surprised to learn new things about herself too.
