Two of the best-known characters in children's music leave the ocean behind and head for the stars. Pinkfong & Baby Shark's Space Adventure is a 2019 animated family musical directed by Byeon Hee-sun, running 66 minutes, and it is available on K-Time with a Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles.
What is Pinkfong & Baby Shark's Space Adventure about?
Everything starts with something missing: there is a special star that belongs with Pinkfong, and it has to be found. Pinkfong and Baby Shark set off into space to look for it, travelling from one planet to the next. Each world they land on is a little mysterious in its own way, and each stop brings the search one step further along. The plot never gets complicated, which is a strength for very young viewers. There is one clear goal, a chain of destinations, and two friends who stay side by side for the whole trip. Music, as the genre label promises, is part of the journey from start to finish.
About the cast
The credited voice cast is Jo Kyoung-i, Kim Seo-yeong, Kim Eun-ah and Jeong Jae-heon, with Byeon Hee-sun as director. On K-Time, viewers can switch from the original audio to the Persian dub, or keep the original voices and turn on Persian subtitles instead.
Context & significance
The film sits in three catalogue categories at once: animation, family and music. That combination tells parents most of what they need to know. This is a children's feature built around familiar characters and songs, not a story written for older audiences. At a little over an hour it is shorter than most cinema features, which suits short attention spans. It is a co-production of South Korea and the United States, released in 2019. For Persian-speaking households abroad the dub matters a great deal, because a child who cannot read yet can still follow the adventure in the family's own language. The subtitled version is useful in a different way, for parents who would like their children to hear the original voices while practising reading in Persian.
