THROWBACK THURSDAY!
Zoobilee Zoo is an Emmy Award-winning children’s television series featuring costumed performers dressed as animal characters.
Generally the plot of each episode consists of the main characters, called Zoobles, encountering difficulties usually common to young children (though some adults can relate to them) and then learning a moral lesson about dealing with such problems, such as being apprehensive of going to a doctor or learning to appreciate others. Each character has a certain gimmick in his behavior or interests that gives him a unique view on each problem faced.
