Tumble Leaf season 3

The award-winning Amazon Original Series Tumble Leaf will soon debut its third season with 12 new episodes, launching Tuesday, August 15 on Prime Video in the US and UK. To celebrate, Amazon went behind the scenes with the crew of acclaimed stop-motion studio Bix Pix Entertainment to show how passion, creativity and a touch of magic go into creating this utterly endearing preschool series.
“We’re delighted to offer a third season of Amazon’s beloved kids series and continue our mission of offering high-quality children’s programming that helps our audiences learn and grow,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “We are honored that this unique series has received so many awards, and with all-new adventures, irresistible characters and stunning animation, the latest season of Tumble Leaf is sure to win over viewers everywhere, too.”
Tumble Leaf follows the adventures of curious, creative Fig the fox (voiced by Christopher Downs), who lives in a wrecked schooner ship by the sea where every day Gingko the crab (Alex Trugman) shows him a new item of interest that sends him on a fun, nature-centered expedition. He’s joined in discoveries by Stick the caterpillar, Maple the polar bear (Brooke Wolloff), Hedge the hedgehog (Zac McDowell) and Pine the porcupine (Addie Zintel).
In Season 3, Fig’s universe expands with new places and special friends, including Pebble the spider, Bonsai the whale and Bird of Paradise. The latest episodes help teach young viewers gentle life lessons through topics that are universally relatable for preschoolers, such as a friend moving away and dealing with disappointment.
