‘Thinker Ben and Motor’ is an animated series for children aged 4-8, filled with incredible fun adventures, humor and action. The main characters, the inventor Thinker Ben and the robot Motor, help the residents of the city by applying engineering solutions, imagination and the support of friends from different professions.
