Plot

''StoryBots Super Songs'' centers on the StoryBots, who are curious little creatures who live in the world beneath our screens. However, while its predecessor ''Ask the StoryBots'' follows Beep, Bing, Bang, Boop and Bo as they answer a child's single question (like "why is the sky blue?"), the music-centric ''Super Songs'' has the characters exploring broader subject areas. "From the day ''Ask the StoryBots'' launched back in August, we’ve been inundated with requests from kids, parents and teachers all over the world for more episodes," said show co-creator Gregg Spiridellis. "We’re happy to be able to answer that call in a fun, new way with ''StoryBots Super Songs''." "StoryBots caught fire online because of our catchy, short-form music videos on subjects like dinosaurs, shapes, colors, the alphabet and more," said Evan Spiridellis, show co-creator. "This new format lets us tap into that heritage by mixing our trademark tunes with animated and live-action vignettes featuring our lead characters interacting with real kids."
