New animated preschool series
The series is created by
Dora the Explorer‘s, Niki López, Leslie Valdes and Valerie Walsh Valdes. The series teaches kids the value of teamwork, honesty and kindness, while also encouraging them to learn Spanish phrases and fun facts about marine biology.
Infused with a Spanish-language and Latino-Caribbean culture curriculum, the action-adventure series follows eight-year-old Santiago “Santi” Montes, a brave and kind-hearted pirate, as he embarks on daring rescues, searches for treasures and keeps the high seas safe in a fantastical Caribbean world.
In the series, Santiago’s (Kevin Chacon) steadfast and loyal crew consists of Tomás (Justice Quiroz), his clumsy energetic cousin whose magical guitar can be used to harness the wind, and Lorelai (Alyssa Cheatham), a knowledgeable mermaid who can speak to sea creatures and transform into a young human girl.
