Little J & Big Cuz (2017–current) is an animated series about two young Aboriginal cousins – 5-year-old Little J (voiced by Miranda Tapsell) and his 9-year-old cousin, Big Cuz (voiced by Deborah Mailman).

The 2 kids live with their Nanna (Ningali Lawford-Wolf) and her dog (voiced by Aaron Fa'Aoso) and they go for all kinds of adventures with their school friends, learning about their community and Aboriginal culture along the way.

The series first aired on NITV and was aimed at children who were about to enter primary school.

In this excerpt from season 3, episode 13 ('River Adventure'), the school mascot – Aaron the footy doll – has fallen overboard during a boating adventure and Big Cuz films the story for a news report assignment.
