The Wild Squad
live-action/animation/documentary
“The Wild Squad” is a children’s series (ages 7–8) following four curious friends who investigate “urban mysteries” involving wild animals in Warsaw. Each episode focuses on a single conflict between humans and wildlife, approached as an investigation: the kids gather clues, talk to witnesses, and consult experts. They discover that animals act out of instinct rather than malice, and that real solutions come from understanding, empathy, and learning how humans and wildlife can coexist.
POLISH DESCRIPTION:
Dziki Patrol
aktorski/animacja/dokument
“Dziki Patrol” to serial dla dzieci (7–8 lat) o czwórce ciekawskich przyjaciół, którzy badają “miejskie tajemnice” związane z dzikimi zwierzętami w Warszawie. Każdy odcinek koncentruje się na jednym konflikcie między ludźmi a dziką przyrodą, potraktowanym jak śledztwo: dzieci zbierają tropy, rozmawiają ze świadkami i konsultują się z ekspertami. Odkrywają, że zwierzęta działają z instynktu, a nie ze złej woli, oraz że prawdziwe rozwiązania wynikają ze zrozumienia, empatii i nauki współistnienia ludzi i dzikiej przyrody.
