The new CBeebies show, ZingZillas, has got the under sixes laughing, dancing and making music in the style of ZingZillas. The four ZingZillas - Zak, Drum, Tang and Panzee - are accompanied in each episode by their mentor and friend DJ Loose who helps them to organise their daily performance that finishes each show. Other characters that appear regularly are Todd and The Beach Byrds and the Moaning Stones.

With a primate feel and sound, the show - and toys - are designed to be inspirational rather than overly serious or practical. Each episode culminates in a big 'Zing Off' where the characters play what they have learned! Music will cover all areas of taste - from all out jiving-type tunes to melodies normally reserved for opera lovers. The music has been composed by Chris Banks and features a different guest and genre for every episode. Artists who feature on the soundtrack include The Swingle Singers and Elio Pace. There are even appearances from opera star Sarah Connolly and didgeridoo player Dhinawan.

The various ZingZillas toys cover all interests including jigsaws, musical plush toys and role-play instruments. We recommend you look out for the Dancing Zak and Panzee motorised plush toys and the 12' talking plushes that feature voices and many other different sounds. As well as the Big Zing Playset, the Big Zing Guitar and the Sing Along Microphone, we expect the Zak on Tour game to be particularly popular among fans of the show.

ZingZillas toys will be joined by DVDs, magazines, books and lots of other merchandise. For example, Aykroyds and TDP Licensing are producing nightwear whilst Smith and Brooks are developing children’s outerwear for the show. There will also be a selection of bath toys, soaps and other accessories from H&A and posters from Pyramid. Meanwhile, Martin Yaffe are producing a selection of wheeled toys for the brand.
ZingZillas is quickly turning into one of the biggest and hottest children's toy brands - and the innovative show will appeal to children all over the world with its tremendous mix of musical styles.
