Time to Start the Day

Time to Start the Day is an original series created by Grow. It is a preschool show about a puppet named Trunk who, along with his parents and friend Annelise, runs a costume shop known as The Costume Jungle, and when the shop closes, he and his friends become animated and go on an adventure. It is a mix between live-action and animation.

Plot
Each episode starts with the live-action segment, taking place in The Costume Jungle, a shop full of many costumes. At one point, a cuckoo clock (which is shaped like Mr. Tusk,) goes off, meaning it's time for the shop to close, so the live-action characters sing about it.

After, two eggs with legs hop out of the cuckoo clock, and Annelise, Trunk, Russ, and Anchor magically transform into cartoon characters. Annelise then says "Where will we go today?," leading to the cartoon segment, demonstrating the lesson Trunk learned.

After the cartoon, Trunk has learned his lesson. Annelise and Trunk, now back in live-action form, pack up and go their separate ways.
