Mack & Moxy, also known more fully as Mack & Moxy: The Great Helpee Heroes, is a children's education show that focuses on causes. Each episode teaches children life-long lessons of charity and compassion, while celebrating the joy of helping others. Created by Brahm Wenger and Alan Green, the show combines 3D animation, live-action puppets, and original songs and music. The show is being distributed by American Public Television and currently airs on PBS stations across America. The complete first season began streaming on Netflix in October 2016.
Each episode includes two 14-minute segments and follows Mack, a lovable, moose-like lummox, and Moxy, a feisty, raccoon/fox-inspired go-getter as they take off on another adventure. Together with a helpful Trooper (child), they set out to rescue another Great Helpee in a far off mystical place called HelpeeLand.
Along the way, Mack & Moxy meet a new Friend-In-Need who introduces Mack & Moxy (and the kids at home) to a new important cause.
A number of non-profits and government organizations have partnered with Mack & Moxy for the show's first season. These include: American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Citizen Schools, Easter Seals, Feeding America, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Park Foundation, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Playworks, President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, Save the Children and World Wildlife Fund.
Mack & Moxy was created by executive producer Brahm Wenger, who has worked for Walt Disney Pictures for over 17 years, producing and writing the scores and songs for over 40 children’s films – including the complete Air Bud and Air Buddies series. The show is co-produced by Bardel Entertainment, one of the world's leading animation houses that has done animation for Fox, DreamWorks, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network.
