Honeyborough Critter Village

Show Writing Concept

In the themed land of Honeyborough Village, Children of all ages are invited by the Animal Townsfolk to join and play in their small countryside community. The entire town is a playground, an interactive space that inspires imagination and wholesome values to Children through hands-on play and entertainment. With Villager’s homes, treehouses, campgrounds, farms, bakeries, restaurants, shops and more, there is an expansive life-size world to explore and play in, for every Child’s interests. Guests meet and dine with Characters, participate in guided games, receive special gifts and even follow Villagers on a nutty adventure, realized in a dark ride into the Blossomwood Forest beyond the town. At the end of their day, special treats and trinkets created by the Animal Townsfolk are a delightful reminder of the experience they shared in Honeyborough.

Deep in the Blossomwood Forest, beyond the Bubbling Creek, through the Strawberry Patch, and over the Clover Hill, the sun shines onto a small, flower-filled meadow. Here lies the quaint village of Honeyborough, where Animals live together in their countryside homes. Settled into Maple Street, the heart of the town, are a bakery, restaurant, corner store, grocer and flower shop. Each of the storefronts are lovingly tended to by the Villagers that call the town home. The Blueberry Bunnies bounce and bound while they bake sweet confections at the Bunny’s Bread Basket. At Daffodil & Dahlia Florists, the Dandelion Deer dance and deliver delightful flower arrangements. The Buttermilk Bears boisterously barbecue meals at the Buzzing Bee Eatery.

In the Sunny Suburb, rustic homes are lined up with flower-filled gardens next to the stone street. The mailboxes are painted in curling script with the names of the families in each home: the Buttermilk Bears, the Marigold Mice, the Dandelion Deer...
