About “Stillwater”
“Stillwater” is produced by Gaumont and Scholastic Entertainment and is based on Jon J Muth’s Scholastic book series “Zen Shorts.” It follows siblings Karl, Addy, and Michael, who are typical kids with typical kid problems – implying that even the smallest things can feel insurmountable at times. Fortunately for these three, their next-door neighbor is Stillwater, a wise panda.
Stillwater gives the children a better understanding of their feelings as well as tools to help them face their own day-to-day struggles through his example, stories, and gentle humor. Stillwater also gives the three newfound joy and adventure, introducing them to the quiet wonders of the universe and leading them to their proper position within it.
Sidonie Dumas, Christophe Riandee, Nicolas Atlan, Terry Kalagian, Iole Lucchese, Caitlin Friedman, Jef Kaminsky, and Rob Hoegee executive produce “Stillwater,” which features James Sie, Eva Binder, Tucker Chandler, and Judah Mackey as voice actors. Apple TV+ is now streaming the first six episodes.
