Toot & Puddle is a traditionally animated children's television series, based on the book series by Holly Hobbie. The series features the voices of Joanne Vannicola as Toot and Samantha Reynolds as Puddle. It was produced by Mercury Filmworks in association with National Geographic Kids, Treehouse TV and Nick Jr..[1]
The series premiered in Canada on Treehouse TV on September 2, 2008 and last aired there on July 31, 2011. In the United States, the series first aired on Noggin on November 16, 2008 before moving to Nick Jr. on September 28, 2009 and aired there until the series finale on May 15, 2011. Twenty-six episodes were produced.
The series focuses on the lives of two adventurous pigs, Toot and Puddle. The two live in Woodcock Pocket with many friends. In each episode, the duo learns about a different place or culture.
During the course of each episode, either Toot visits a new location and communicates to Puddle by sending a postcard, or the two travel together. In each episode, The Boomerang Song (an exclusively-written song) is used as a transition between both stories.
