Origin

According to Boyle, the series began as a story created by his niece, Viviana Ogawa, that Boyle turned into a rough comic book-style storybook called The Tail of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted. During the series' development process, the characters were renamed Widget, Wubby and Walden. Eventually, the title character was named Wubbzy.

Boyle submitted his original concept as a book to Bolder Media. After more than 600 children's book concepts were reviewed, Boyle's submission was selected for development into an animated series for preschoolers. Production for the first season began in January 2005.

Main characters

  • Wubbzy (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - A male yellow creature. The title character, Wubbzy is square-shaped with a long, bendy tail. He has a childlike fascination with life, and his favorite pastime is playing kickety-kick ball. His daily travels throughout Wuzzleburg often result in his response, "Wow, wow, wow!"
  • Widget (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) - A female pink creature that speaks with a stereotypical southern accent. Whenever there is a problem that needs to be fixed, she replies with her catchphrase, "No problemo!" She can fix and invent an endless stream of cleverly named devices (usually ending with the version number 3000), including a robotic chicken that lays a hundred eggs a minute (The Robo-Cluck 3000), and a thirty-screen television (The Videotron 3000). Unfortunately, something always goes wrong, resulting in her usual reply, "That wasn't supposed to happen!" Original voice cast by Carolyn Lawrence.
  • Walden (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) - A male purple creature. Named for Walden Pond, this bespectacled fellow is the bookworm of the group, constantly seeking to further his knowledge of anything and everything. He has knowledge, as the theme song refers, "about science and books and art". His adventures alongside Wubbzy and Widget often result in his favored axiom of "Very interesting!" Walden also tends to say "Yes, yes, yes" in lieu of just "yes". He speaks with what could be considered to be a Australian accent, although he does have a hint of American in it.[citation needed]
  • Daizy (voiced by Tara Strong)- A young girl who is Wubbzy's neighbor. She grows flowers and enjoys sewing. The character appears in the promotional material for the first DVD release "A Tale of Tails" but does not appear in any of the content of the DVD. When something odd or exciting happens, she'll usually say "Lavender lollipops!"

Minor characters

Daizy, Wubbzy's new neighbor and friend, will be introduced in Season 2. Guest stars will include world champion skater Michelle Kwan (as Michelle Kwanzelberry) and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition star Ty Pennington (as Ty Ty the Tool Guy).

DVD release

On September 23, 2008, the first Wubbzy DVD was released, titled A Tale of Tails.
