Socks

This fun and warmhearted children’s series looks at the many situations experienced in childhood, represented by a family of socks! The stories are meant to be relatable to children of all ages, and it can be enjoyed from both the child’s perspective as well as the adult’s in a way that will make you both laugh and cry. Socks is based on a short film that won an award for Best Animated Short at the Toronto International Film Festival. The debut episode, “Socks”, introduces us to Socks and his friends. Socks is a young boy who has just started going to school.

He’s not quite sure how he fits in or what he wants to do with his life, but he likes math class (and the teacher), enjoys playing with his stuffed giraffe friend Julius, and loves being around other people his own age. That being said, he’s still pretty new to all of this, so when he gets home from school one day and finds a pair of old yellowed socks in his backpack instead of the homework he was expecting—well, let’s just say it throws him for a loop. It turns out that those old socks are actually an older version of himself that came back in time from the future (!) to

Socks are a staple of childhood. You can’t have too many (unless you’re not a fan of the dusty, dirty type), and they’re always a practical gift for a young person. With so many other options out there—video games, toys, iPods, cell phones, clothes—it’s always nice to know that there’s at least one thing you can give that will last forever and never go obsolete. And if you love somebody enough to give them socks as a gift, it’s nice to know that they’ll actually use them! As a little baby grows up into a toddler, they’ll find all kinds of uses for their ever-growing collection of socks. The characters in this fun and warmhearted children’s series look at the many situations experienced in childhood, represented by a family of socks!
