Preschool cable outlet Nick Jr. has begun production on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, an original, 26-episode animated preschool series produced by Bolder Media for Boys and Girls in association with IDT/Film Roman. Created by Bob Boyle, a producer on Nickelodeon’s The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, the property previously known Wubby, Widget and Walden is slated to premiere on Nick Jr. in the fall.
Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Centers on a curious little creature named Wubbzy, who lives in the mythical city of Wuzzleburg. With the help of pals Widget and Walden, he tackles everyday kid problems so he can pursue such interests as chasing flutterflies, eating ice cream and playing hippity-hopscotch. Widget is a mechanical whiz and inventor who owns her own fix-it shop, and Walden is a quirky scientist who finds great wisdom in everything from ancient philosophy to tarot card reading.
Channel Frederator and Bolder Media for Boys and Girls are introducing the world of Wubbzy with The Wubbcast (www.wubbzy.com), a video podcast that offers 5 to 7-minute episodes of musical animation for portable video devices including the Apple iPod, the Sony PSP and mobile telephones. On January 10, The Wubbcast, Nick Jr. Video (www.nickjrvideo.com) and Channel Frederator (www.channelfrederator.com) will all offer a sneak peek from the premiere episode of the new TV series.
Each half-hour episode of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! will feature two, 10-minute adventures with themes that are reinforced with original music videos. Creator Boyle is exec producer, along with Susan Miller and Fred Seibert, co-founders of Bolder Media for Boys and Girls.
