Aimed at the preschool audience, "The Day Henry Met..?" (26 x five minutes) is a brand-new 2D animated preschool series that encourages children to use their imagination and discover the world around them through play and adventure.
In every episode Henry, a charming, inquisitive little boy, meets something new, which becomes the focus of his journey of discovery and adventure, ultimately teaching viewers about real-life objects and occupations. Henry always wants to learn and find out more, so in each episode, he has a friendly chat with whatever he meets - The Day Henry Met a Whale!, The Day Henry Met the Moon!, The Day Henry Met a Postman!, The Day Henry Met a Knight! Hmmm, I wonder what Henry's going to meet today?
No matter what Henry meets they're always delighted to talk, laugh and share their amazing world with him. After finding out so many amazing things about his new friends, Henry lets his imagination run wild and imagines himself - as a deep sea diver under the ocean with the whale, as an astronaut flying to the moon, or a race car driver in the middle of a race!
Every episode ends with Henry's mother calling him. Before he leaves he always tells his new friends it was lovely talking to them and hopes they have a nice day.
