Puppeteers serve up meaty kids fare for Nick

Few kids name puppeteer as their most desired career, but for Canadian creators Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley, there is little doubt that the pair was destined for the job. The duo is the creative force behind The Grogs, a Toronto-based prodco that's on quite a roll this year.
