Baldies

Baldies are an animated adventure series that follows a group of brave kids who battle cancer. After meeting in hospital among beeping machines, together they fight for their health. A child with cancer is still a child – they want to laugh, play with friends, and have adventures. Having the courage to sing loudly 'show the world that bald is cool', our heroes never have a bad hair day! In ten action-packed episodes, Captain Chemo takes us on an exciting expedition to answer the question: Will my hair grow back? From the photographer Mr.I we find out that an MRI scan doesn't hurt. And how do you talk to someone who is seriously ill? That's something everyone should learn. Baldies use the power of child imagination, gentle humor, and ingenious metaphors to create a positive and inspiring narrative about a difficult topic. Their motto? 'I can fight this any hour – happy thoughts have superpowers!'

Director’s statement
I remember the moment when, as a newly diagnosed patient, the psychologist drew everything on paper and explained what was happening in my body. It was important for me to understand at least a little bit about what was going on and to know why my hair was falling out and why I couldn't be around people. That's why I decided to create a series that will provide new patients and their families with important information in a playful, understandable way, and which will be available to all pediatric patients and their loved ones.
I would like to give courage and hope to those who still have treatment ahead of them. I also want to dispel some of the myths about cancer and show that a positive outlook and attitude during treatment can be a key factor in recovery.
