US/UK site

A bunch of you have been asking about the difference between the US and the UK site and being able to see them both, so I figured I would answer them in one big posting. The US and UK sites are the same except for three differences: The UK site features the voices that will be present in the UK version of the show (the US featuring US show voices), the spelling varies accommodating the different dialects, and the broadcaster is Channel 5 in the UK and Cartoon Network in the US.  Everything else is the same!

The reason you can only see one version of the site is because it has been geo-locked, which means you are automatically served the site relevant to the country that you are viewing it from. As of right now there is no way to override the geo-locking technology, but it’s actually a good thing. As kids start watching the show, and going online to learn more, we want to make sure they are experiencing the site that correlates with the show they’re watching. But don’t worry; if you have never heard the UK voice (you Northern Hemisphere folk) I’m planning on uploading some vocal tracks on the blog. Stay tuned!

And, word on the street, is we are very close to uploading video to www.mrmen.com so I'll be sure to put the word out when its about to go live. - Sarah

Home Sweet Home

Happy New Year! As Kurt has mentioned in the past, we all love the look of this show. Some of my personal favorites are the props and houses Renegade has created for our Mr. Men and Little Miss. So, I figured we could start the new year off with something fun. A game of sorts. Below are the houses of five of our Mr. Men Show Characters. Can you guess who's house is who's? There are a lot of visual clues here so look closely.
