Music-centric series "dirtgirlworld," geared toward preschoolers, aims to introduce children to the joys of outdoor play and sustainable, green living. The series features dirtgirl, a gumboot-wearing girl who grows tomatoes and drives a big orange tractor, and her backyard full of friends, including her best friend next door who is a whiz with junk, a stunt star with an inferiority complex, a monosyllabic scarecrow and the green thumbs -- real kids in real gardens having unreal fun. The series, a distinctive blend of live action and animation, takes the audience to a world in which the real and unreal collide.
