Annie Oak

Annie Oak is a talking tree featured in the short series Elmo's Backyard.

Press kit bio
"At 75 years old, the feisty, grandmotherly talking tree, has stood strong and firmly in her spot, watching the neighborhood around her grow and change around her. This has given her a lot of useful insight. Elmo often turns to Annie for advice as she has an encyclopedic knowledge of plant life and a seedling’s enthusiastic spirit.

Annie loves to joke around and be silly, and will do things like hang bananas or coconuts from her limbs, pretending to be a different kind of tree (“I’m just feeling so… TROPICAL today!”). Beyond being a great storyteller, Annie is a constant source of shade and welcoming hospitality."

Trivia
