Co-producer: 2Entertain AB. Participating on stage: Sara Englund, Fatima Edell and Gustav Karlberg -------------- In the world of Babblarna from Hatten Förlag, many people have contributed their expertise: Anneli Tisell is the designer and creator of the concept Babblarna, which was launched in 2007. She is the creative hub and leader of the team around Babblarna. It is Anneli who gave the world and the characters the name Babblarna and is also the one who writes the books and lyrics for Babblarna's music. / The names of the characters, Babba, Bibbi, Bobbo, Dadda, Diddi and Doddo, were introduced by Iréne Johansson in her book "Primitive Grammar - Word Stage", published by Studentlitteratur in 1990. The book contains exercises for developing vocabulary and grammar and also instructions for listening and pronunciation exercises, and describes how to sew dolls with clear tactile differences. The shapes of the dolls were based on simple basic shapes such as a rectangle, a circle, a triangle – shapes that have also inspired the characters in the Babblarna world. Iréne Johansson has been involved in the creation of several of the Babblarna books and has inspired many of the games. / The music is composed and produced by: Johan Rask, Hasse Sjölander / Vocals: Sofia Alm, Anoo Bhagavan / Babblarna voices: Filip Alexanderson, Tomas Lindfors, Ola Schubert, Anneli Tisell, Åsa Öhrn / Cast in dance films: Sanna Lejweman, Sara Kjellberg / Cast in cartoon films: Anna Lidé / Illustration and graphic design: Luciana Amado Sandberg, Arita Andrade, Hannes Hagstrand, Ola Schubert, Anneli Tisell, Jennie Wiik Edman / Animation: Hannes Hagstrand, Simon Post, David Rylander, Johanna Schubert, Ola Schubert and Internfilm AB.
