Story
The Clangers are small mouse-like beings who live in space on a small planet resembling our moon. They all live in peace and harmony and communicate with each other through whistles. They only eat blue string pudding and green soup, which is provided by the Soup Dragon. In every episode, the Clangers need to solve some kind of problem, deal with a discovery or get to know a new visitor. Music plays an important role in this simple yet amusing stop-motion animated series.
