EndedAnimation showChildren

Big Bag was a children's series aimed at Pre-school viewers. It aired from 1996 to 1997 on Cartoon Network

The series is built on the idea that participation is the name of the game with kids. By speaking directly to the audience, the show encourages preschoolers to think creatively and investigate the world around them, as well as how to get along with others.

Big Bag gently and creatively introduces children to the emotional and moral issues they will face in life. Story lines are set in the context of a preschooler's life: sharing a crayon, keeping a promise, or apologizing to a friend. By doing this, Big Bag instills a sense of values and responsibility in children and teaches them how to deal with issues that will form the foundation of the person they will grow up to be.
