Floogals

British-French animated series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Floogals is a British live-action/animated television series aimed at preschoolers, produced by Nevision Studios, Jellyfish Pictures and Zodiak Kids, with concepts from Absolutely Cuckoo. Sprout, a children's TV channel in the United States which commissioned the series, also participated in the production. The series was developed by Ceri Barnes, Lee Walters, Nigel Pickard and Rick Gitelson, from an original idea by Dan Good (who created Waybuloo). Tiny aliens are Fleeker, Flo and Boomer, who find questions and exploring. Production took place in London during 2014 and 2015 with all CGI animation by Jellyfish Pictures.[1] The series was first broadcast in the United States as a 'Sprout original series', and series 2 and 3 have been subsequently commissioned.[citation needed]

In September 2019, it was confirmed that series three would be the final series and that production had ended. The show aired its final episode on March 22, 2020.[citation needed]

Synopsis and overview

The show centers on three four-inch tall extraterrestrials called Floogals who have come to Earth to study its inhabitants. Upon landing, a human boy, thinking their spaceship is a toy, hangs their craft onto the ceiling of his bedroom. The Floogals, however, don't seem to mind as they carry on with their studying.

While the show is set in a real Earthly place featuring live-action humans, the Floogals are CGI.

During each episode, the Floogals come across an object on Earth of which they try to gain knowledge. Once their study is done, they pass their research to the base on their home planet. After the report is sent, if it is liked, the floogals receive a sticker each featuring the object they have just researched.

Characters

Floogals

The three protagonists consist of two male lavender colored with blue or purple horns and one female pink colored with red horns extraterrestrials in red-orange, yellow and green space suits and headgears. While they lack noses, they each have four trumpet-shaped colored blue (Fleeker), red (Flo) and purple (Boomer) protrusions on their heads which are used for both hearing and smelling.

  • Fleeker, the Captain — Fleeker is a male Floogal with red-orange uniform, lavender skin and blue floogal horns. His uniform and helmet can glow in darkness. Like his friends, Flo and Boomer, he is always wearing his alien outfit. Fleeker and Boomer are best friends forever. He addresses self "Captain Fleeker." Voiced by Miles J. Harvey and David Hornsby in US version and Rasmus Hardiker in UK Version.
  • Flo, the First Officer — Flo is the only female floogal of the main cast and has yellow uniform, pink skin and red floogal horns. Her floogal horns are all bunched upward, her lower two horns do not come downward near her neck like with the males. She addresses self "First Officer Flo." Voiced by Jules de Jongh in US version and Angela Griffin in UK version.
  • Boomer, Junior Floogal — Boomer is very similar to Captain Fleeker Floogal, but is smaller, has a green uniform, lavender skin and purple floogal horns instead of blue. He doesn't have Floogalzooger Kit. He addresses self "Junior Floogal Boomer." Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison in US version and Dan Wright in UK version.

Joining in Season 2 with Fleeker, Flo and Boomer

  • Fee, the Roaming Reporter — Fee is female just like Flo and she wears a light blue uniform, with a little robot buddy named Doodle. She has lavender skin instead of pink and purple floogal horns instead of red. She has premiered first time in season 2. Her Floogal Horns are just like Flo's. She's been seen in only a couple episodes, so she's a character not really known. Voiced by Natalie Palamides.

Hoomans

The human family whose house is where the Floogals are stationed at. Their faces are kept secretly hidden from the picture.

  • Dad aka "Dad Hooman" — his name is Michael as mentioned in the episode, "Project:Washer/Dryer". He is voiced by Chris Corcoran.
