"Happy Land! Now!!" by The Boxcutter Collective

Happyland! Now!! Is a new episodic musical puppet adventure that follows the adventures of Captain Fernando and their faithful but apprehensive sidekick, Marmalade the boat-tiger, as they search for the mythical land of Happyland. In this episode, Fernando and Marmalade arrive with glee on “Stay-Awake Island,” hoping they have finally found Happyland once and for all. But a sleeping giant, a meddling cowboy, and a pair of revolutionary goblins with bad French-accents complicate the quest, resulting in unexpected discoveries, catchy music, and puppet dance numbers!

All ages welcome, recommended for ages 4+
