The TVI Take

Amazon Prime animated series featuring a garbage truck and excavator duo who use creative problem-solving and lateral thinking to overcome obstacles. Stronger cognitive content than typical vehicle shows, episodes genuinely model divergent thinking and the value of asking 'what if.' Based on Kate and Jim McMullan's picture books.

Underrated entry in the preschool problem-solving space.
