The Diary of Bita & Cora, from TV ON Producciones, an animated series for kids ages 4 to 8, features best friends/galactic explorers Bita and Cora who crash land on a strange and wonderful new planet, Pruna. Like all great space adventures, they embark on a journey of discovery to find out everything they can about their fascinating new world.
