Unlock the Big Question

Unlock the Big Question is a children's preschool television series created by Harmony Stringfellow, and debuted on Kiddie Plus by September 3, 2022. Like other Kiddie-produced shows, the series focuses on introducing children ages 4–7 different lessons of vocabulary, phonics, science, history, astronomy and various learning concepts, with each episode featuring an underlying theme illustrated with usually informal keywords. A third season was recently announced.

Plot and Production
The show is set in a fictional U.S. place called Longwood Town, and revolves around 12-year-old Cellita Gonzalecio, her pet dragon named Partridge, their friends and family, and their daily interactions with each other. In every episode, they define words and learn new things.

Unlock the Big Question was conceived in 2021 to show kids that science is everywhere and everyone can be good at it. The series encourages viewers to see, think, and do science in their world. Harmony Stringfellow, the creator of the show and author of the book series, also voices the two titular characters and oversees the show's production.

The series is produced by The Kiddie Channel in Flash animation. Despite some concerns over what would the way word definitions be incorporated into a television series, Stringfellow is satisfied they "didn't interrupt the plot's flowing concepts".

Each eleven-minute episode also features three words that will be used throughout the plot of that episode. The words are chosen according to academic guidelines. The reasoning is that when Cellita defines words in each episode, such as "cumbersome", viewers are told that it means "big, heavy, and awkward."

Extension
A Kiddie Plus streaming movie was announced on July 7, 2023, titled Investigate the Big Question, in which Cellita is very excited to have the most thrilling moment of her life with her family, friends, and her dragon Partridge who is a huge believer of mystical creatures. Cellita's goal is to get as much done as possible for everything she does on her list called "The Big Question", which includes unlocking, reviewing, applying, and answering. As a result, the DVD cover slogan became "Boring? Maybe not. Hilarious? Definitely."

Main

 * Cellita Gonzalecio (voiced by Harmony Stringfellow) is a 12-year-old girl who is shy, artistic, and intelligent. Oftentimes, she can be emotional. Cellita is the leader of the group and voice of reason, so she does not jump to conclusions. She is embarrassed to tell people about her Hispanic and British heritage, and also has a pet dragon named Partridge.
 * Partridge (also voiced by Harmony Stringfellow) is Cellita's yellow pet dragon and is her best friend. She and Cellita ask questions and define words in every episode. Partridge can fly with her small wings, and she can often be seen hovering off the ground. However, because she cannot speak to people other than Cellita, Partridge normally communicates using trumpet sounds or hand gestures. Her reliability is also quite variable; sometimes, the other characters get very annoyed when they have to do things themselves that Partridge cannot.
 * Alex Kenneth (voiced by Chinook Cosgrove) is one of Cellita's friends. He lives an eccentric lifestyle that revolves around the surreal.
 * Jasmine Turner (voiced by Sierra Florindo) is another one of Cellita's friends. She is known to be clumsy sometimes.
 * Norman Rockwell (voiced by Nova Petropolis) is another one of Cellita's friends. He enjoys reading historical works of literature and is accident-prone.
 * Bonnie Anderson (voiced by Larissa Gizelle) is another one of Cellita's friends who likes skateboards and collecting things. She is impulsive, impatient, tells jokes, and has a great interest in sports.

Recurring

 * Miguellito Gonzalecio (voiced by Delgado Hortiguela) is Cellita's toddler sibling whom she enjoys teaching on how to talk, with unsuccessful attempts.
 * Estrella Gonzalecio (voiced by Elena de la Garza) is Cellita's mother of Hispanic heritage, who works in the community. She often uses Spanish words and phrases, giving the translation shortly afterwards.
 * Sir Harry Johnson (voiced by Maller Mattarusky) is Cellita's father who works as a guardsman. He is friendly but strict, and is of British heritage.
 * Mrs. Hildebrand (voiced by Latrice Williams) is Cellita's teacher at Honey Bridge School. She is known for giving rather valorant assignments to her students.
 * Sparrow (voiced by Fred Pescatore) is the next-door neighbors' brown pet dragon, who doesn't share the same talking abilities as Partridge. Sparrow can fly with his small wings, but he has a fear of heights and prefers to walk. Although Sparrow is unable to speak, he is still a very smart dragon. He was first introduced in the episode "Partridge and Sparrow".
