Kit and Kate

Kit and Kate (stylised as Kit ^n^ Kate; Котики, вперёд!) is a Russian preschool children's educational series of educational animated shorts for children aged 0-7, produced by Russian company Toonbox (whose animation studio and ABC Kids office were later respectively relocated to Cyprus  ), in conjunction with a team of American, French and Russian artists. It has a Friulian dub called "Tui e Tuie".

Plot
Two blue, vaguely cat-like, siblings Kit and Kate, wondering what to play for the day, get inside a box and discover an item. The siblings then get out of the box and go on an 'adventure' related to the item. However, their 'adventure' often ends in a bad result because of a behavior of either Kit, Kate or both. Then, either the siblings' mother or father appears, disguised as someone passing by, listens to the siblings, and gives some advice. The siblings, already recognising their parent, thank the parent, and go on their 'adventure' again from the beginning, but doing some things differently as advised, this time ending in success.

In every episode of season 2, Kit and Kate make up a story together, sometimes getting help from their parents and grandfather to think of the name of the story and its synopsis. The story then begins with a character doing a specific thing. Then, Kit and Kate high-five each other which magically sends them into the story. Often, the character mentioned in the story or Kit and Kate get into a bit of a hassle, but as soon as they learn something, they try retelling the story, but this time changing it via the moral that they learnt all the way.

Although the main characters are rumoured and were intended to be cats, they don't look much like cats.

Characters

 *  Kit (Male) (Котя) - the eldest sibling in the family. He sometimes teaches Kate a few things, and Kit is very supportive. Kit also sometimes does a bad thing like he cheated on hiding and seeking in the episode called "The Cheat Is On". He's 7 years old and wears an orange shirt and green shorts.


 * Kate (Female) (Катя) - the youngest sibling in the family. She only knows a few things but she still plays with Kit. Also, Kate is often the one who learns and subsequently recites the lesson in the end. Also, she tried so hard and yet so far, and in the end, it doesn't even matter. She's 5 years old and wears a pink dress with a star in the middle.

 * Grandpa (Дедушка) Kit and Kate's grandfather. Introduced in season 2. His ears and colour are different to the other family members, probably because he's the oldest. Appearance: Moustache, white and green striped shirt, brown shorts.

 * Quake (duck) (Тимоша)
