Bobby van Jaarsveld to record local version of theme song for new kiddies movie

Cape Town – Afrikaans superstar Bobby van Jaarsveld will record a local rendition of the theme song for the movie Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!

The Big World Adventures theme song shares the message that we should be open to exploration; to traversing the globe, seeking out adventures, engaging with new and different people, and making new friends along the way. 

Bobby says: “This film resonates with me partly because my own friends are such a big part of my life. I feel much the same way as Thomas does about friendship: for me, the true meaning of friendship is acceptance.” 

For Bobby this collaboration is a dream come true.

“I chose to be part of this particular film because its morals and family values appealed so much to me.”
