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.
