Is sraith nua bheochana dáthoisí é ‘Breacaí’ do pháistí idir 4 bliana agus 7 mbliana d’aois a bheidh le feiceáil ar RTÉjr an mhí seo mar chuid de Sheachtain na Gaeilge le Energia 2025.
Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge ar na féilte is mó ar domhan a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar an Ghaeilge agus tá craoladh ‘Breacaí’ i measc na mbeart ag RTÉ leis an teanga a chur i lár an aonaigh ar na cainéil uile acu i rith mhí an Mhárta.
Is é Andrew Fitzpatrick ar son Monster Entertainment a dháileann an tsraith, a forbraíodh agus a léiríodh le cúnamh ó Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, ó Scáileáin Thuaisceart Éireann, ón Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge, ó Choimisiún na Meán agus ó Choimisiún Forbartha an Iarthair.
Spreagann an tsraith seo an lucht féachana óg lena n-ábhar ealaíne a scaoileadh amach agus dul ar eachtraí le Breacaí! Caitheann Breacaí agus a dlúthchara Peann Luaidhe gach lá ag taiscéaladh sna leathanaigh éagsúla sa sceitsleabhar ina gcónaíonn siad, atá lán le rudaí aisteacha agus iontacha.
Castar gach cineál carachtar breactha ar Bhreacaí agus í ar a cuid eachtraí, iad déanta d’ábhair éagsúla ealaíne! Tá líníochtaí agus péintéireachtaí ann, mar aon le origami, pasta, puipéid stoca agus tuilleadh nach iad!
Buaileann sí le Dineasáir, Madraí Mara, Buachaillí Bó, Bó-Chait agus Róbait atá breactha ar leathanaigh an sceitsleabhair, gan a bheith ag trácht ar Bhanna Buachaillí. Is iomaí cara nua a chastar ar Bhreacaí!
Is leagan Gaeilge de ‘Doodle Girl’ é ‘Breacaí’, sraith 26 x 7 nóiméad tarraingthe de láimh agus comhléirithe ag stiúideo ALT Animation i mBeannchar, Contae an Dúin agus Studio Meala i Ros Comáin.
Is í an t-aisteoir ardchumasach Brídín Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh a rinne an carachtar Breacaí a ghuthú, agus is é Tony Devlin, aisteoir agus stiúrthóir ildánach, a rinne guthú gach uile charachtar eile sa tsraith. Gráinne Ní Ghilín an Léiritheoir Gaeilge agus Suzanne Waring a bhí mar Stiúrthóir Gutha Gaeilge.
Beidh eagrán nua de ‘Breacaí’ le feiceáil gach lá ar 1.20pm ar RTÉjr suas go Lá Fhéile Pádraig agus tá na heagráin uile le feiceáil ar RTÉ Player anois.
