Grug Animation

Watch Grug come to life in these delightful animated adventures.

Grug on screen

Ted Prior's Grug books have been illustrated the same quiet way since 1979 — simple lines, soft colours, and plenty of white space. This animation keeps that same feel.

The pacing is slow and unhurried, which suits the books well. There's no rush. Grug notices things, thinks about them, works them out. That's the whole point.

What to expect

The animation stays true to what makes the books work.

No fuss

Short, calm stories with no sensory overload. Works well as a quiet wind-down before bed.

True to the books

Same characters, same lessons, same gentle pace. Nothing has been reimagined or amped up.

Australian through and through

The bush setting, the look, the feel — it's Grug as Australians have always known him.

Read the books too

There are 47 Grug books in the series. The animation is a good introduction — the books are where you'll find the full collection.
