We recently launched our dedicated kids' YouTube channel, Follow The Creatures Too, featuring gentle "big feelings" stories. These heart-warming tales are already being recommended by YouTube in Mix playlists alongside major children's channels, helping more families discover emotionally supportive, calming content designed for little ones.
Alongside this, our main social media presence—on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube—operates under Follow The Creatures.
Here, Mike (aka Mr G) plays the loving, long-suffering father figure to five opinionated puppets: Joolz the bear, Pedro the bat, Claws the lobster, Robbie the robin and Bubbles the octopus. (Click the images to watch the videos.)
As the patient, slightly world-weary, but endlessly affectionate father figure, Mr G shepherds this chaotic crew through life's ups and downs. While the creatures ride the wild rollercoaster of big emotions, and make observations about the human condition, Mr G is the steady hand on the safety bar—often with a raised eyebrow and a perfectly timed deadpan remark.
He guides the puppets (and us) through messy moments with infinite patience (the kind only a parent who's just stepped on a Lego can truly understand), blending warmth, wisdom, dry humour, and the occasional groan-worthy dad joke.
This dual approach lets us support both children's emotional growth and parents' need for light-hearted, relatable entertainment. Come join the family!
Let’s help the next generation grow up kind, confident, and emotionally smart—one story at a time.
