Driver Dan's Story Train is a British-Arabian children's CGI-animated story series created and designed by Rebecca Elgar. It is currently being shown by PBS Kids Sprout, ABC2 and CBeebies. It is produced by Twofour54 and (3linemedia )〔(Animation is handled by the Bristol based studio A Productions. Driver Dan's Story Train returns to CBeebies for a second series )〕 Its first series was launched on CBeebies in January 2010. The characters are all plush toys. Each character, or pair of characters (except for Driver Dan and Twinkle) has their own train carriage which can be hitched to the Story Train. The audience (sometimes seen as several children, but usually represented by the camera's viewpoint and a child's voice) are sometimes asked for their opinion or choice on matters arising. In each episode, some real children sit on a scatter of cushions. This scene disappears as a book opens, showing a pop-up model of a railway train with an engine and two carriages: steam locomotive, stores, a flatbed carrying story books. This is the Story Train. It quickly changes into a solid train, which drives about, picking up other characters from the list below and having various adventures; it can steer and does not run on tracks. The Story Train usually passes a character (or a pair or set of characters) without interacting, and later meets and interacts with other characters. The first time that the Story Train meets a character that it will interact with, the camera shows only part of the character, and the audience is asked to guess which character it is. Those characters then get into their vehicles, which the train then hitches on (always three of those vehicles) and tows them to ''Story Corner''. At Story Corner, Twinkle flies ahead and lands on a huge book and pulls at a bookmark in it. The book opens, showing blank pages; a scatter of cushions falls out of the book onto the floor. The Story Train stops and its passengers get out and sit on the cushions or stand about. Driver Dan reads a story from a book, usually a book from the book flatbed, and says "Now show me the story." The real children then reappear and act out bits of the story, then disappear. The train then sets off again, shrinks to its original 3 vehicles, and quickly becomes a flat model and folds away and disappears. The real children reappear and walk offstage. Each episode lasts about ten minutes. The majority of the characters talk in English (or the language the series is dubbed in), but some (marked in (brackets )) only make a characteristic noise, which other characters can interpret as speech. The Driver Dan website won the 2012 Prix jeunesse 'up to 6 years' interactivity award. It was created by Plug In Media with animation by A Productions Ltd. The season two special episode recently won the 2013 Kidscreen award in New York,having previously been nominated in 2012 for the pre school category. ==Characters== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Driver Dan's Story Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
