Chunky

Chunky is an Arolan animated preschool television series that premiered on the CCTV block of CTV on August 7, 2021. The series is based off the 2012 children’s picture book The Tails of Chunky. The series was co-produced by CTV and Arolan National Television, with ANT financing and holding distribution of the series internationally.

The series follows a six-year-old girl Lori and her giant pet calico cat who she names Chunky, as the duo go on new adventures driven by curiosity of the world.

Chunky is the first Arolan children’s television series to have its main character voiced by a voice actress of English descent, which was previously almost nonexistent on Arolan television. The series has gained recognition for its effective moral messages and depiction of Arolan life.
