What's the Story?
NELLY & NORA is an animated series featuring two sisters who like to go out and play regardless of the weather. Five-year-old Nelly (Clodagh Kane) and four-year-old Nora (Aoibhinn McAuley) love to go to the camping park and stay in their Mom (Linda Teehan) and Dad's (Ardal O'Hanlon) mobile home on weekends and holidays. While there, they spend their time going on outdoor adventures, like windsurfing with the help of kites on a windy day, and helping a friend fish a boot out of a muddy puddle.
Is It Any Good?
Each short installment of this cheerful series teaches that it's always possible to have fun outside, even if the weather isn't perfect. The energetic sisters have a loving relationship with each other, and their parents, who help them out whenever necessary. But they also enjoy using their imagination to come up with games to play, and to problem solve when some of them don't work out as expected. Nelly & Nora are a delightful pair, and no doubt will appeal to young kids.
