Title: Squidgy

Produced by: JD Films
Year: 2005
Genre: Children’s Animation / Comedy / Musical
Target Audience: Ages 4-8

Concept Overview:
Squidgy is a whimsical animated series centered on a charming little blob of green slime named Squidgy. Despite her simple amorphous form and lack of distinct features, Squidgy is full of personality, curiosity, and boundless energy. Her playful nature and melodic voice bring warmth and joy to the colorful, fantastical world she inhabits.

The show explores themes of friendship, creativity, and self-discovery, told through lighthearted adventures perfect for preschool and early elementary audiences.

Main Character:
Squidgy

A vibrant, semi-transparent green blob with no distinct face or limbs, but expressive animations that convey her emotions (bounces, stretches, jiggles).
Playful, inquisitive, and endlessly kind.
Communicates in a sing-song, melodic voice, often turning conversations into catchy little tunes or hums.
Capable of subtle shape-shifting (e.g., forming arms or feet to interact with things when needed).
Shows joy and empathy through lively music and dance motions.
Supporting Characters:
Pip – A tiny, energetic hummingbird who is Squidgy’s best friend and frequent sidekick. Pip often helps guide Squidgy on new adventures.
Momo – An elderly wise tortoise who gives Squidgy gentle advice and stories about the magical world around them.
Fizz – A quick-witted bubble who loves playing pranks and making everyone laugh.
Setting:
The show takes place in Gleamwood, a vibrant, magical forest filled with unusual plants, glowing mushrooms, and fantastical creatures. The environment is colorful, soft-edged, and whimsical, contributing to the light and imaginative mood.

Episode Structure:
Each 11-minute episode follows Squidgy as she embarks on a small adventure or learns an important lesson. Episodes often end with Squidgy singing a short, original song summarizing her feelings or the lesson learned.

Sample Episode Synopsis:
Episode 1: "Squidgy's Silly Shape"
Squidgy discovers she can stretch and mold herself into different forms, but when she tries to copy other animals’ shapes, she feels she’s not good enough. With encouragement from Pip and Momo’s gentle wisdom, Squidgy learns that being herself is the best shape of all. The episode closes with Squidgy singing a heartwarming tune about self-acceptance.

Music and Style:
Music plays a central role in Squidgy, with original songs featuring simple, catchy melodies suitable for young children to sing along. Squidgy’s melodic voice is soft, soothing, and instantly recognizable, often using melody to express emotion beyond words.

The animation style is smooth and fluid to accentuate Squidgy’s elastic, slime-like body. Colors are bright and harmonious to appeal to the target audience’s love of vivid visual stimulation.

Themes:
Empathy and Kindness
Friendship and Teamwork
Creativity and Individuality
Play and Exploration
Squidgy reflects JD Films' signature focus on imaginative storytelling and innovative character design, combining minimalist visual forms with rich personality and musical storytelling — a perfect example of their innovative approach to children’s animation in the mid-2000s.

I’m so happy The Hub UK is showing Squidgy again! It’s such a charming and peaceful show — reminds me of some of those classic preschool animations but with a fresh twist. Squidgy’s musical little hums are so catchy, my niece keeps singing them all day. Anyone else’s kid obsessed?

@GreenBlobFan92 same here! My 5-year-old is loving the songs – they’re simple enough for her to remember but really fun. Plus, the positive messages about being yourself and teamwork are lovely. The animation style is so soft and inviting. Props to JD Films for making something that feels modern yet timeless!

Caught Episode 1 again today (Squidgy’s Silly Shape). It’s hilarious and sweet how Squidgy tries to morph into other animals but ends up just being her gooey self. Pip the hummingbird is such a fun sidekick too – the dynamic really works! Glad The Hub UK is spotlighting shows that aren’t just flashy but genuinely thoughtful.

Can we talk about Fizz the bubble? 😂 Such a cheeky little prankster! My kid laughs out loud every time Fizz pulls a gag. And then Squidgy’s songs at the end are perfect for winding down the episode — very soothing after all the silly antics.

I think The Hub Network has done a great job curating gentle, imaginative shows like Squidgy. It’s so refreshing to see preschool animation that isn’t just loud and hyper, but focuses on creativity and self-expression. Plus, those glowing mushrooms in Gleamwood? Gorgeous visuals. Always look forward to new episodes airing here.

Proud to see JD Films getting love in the UK! Squidgy was always meant to be a musical journey as much as a fun adventure. It’s wonderful hearing families connect with it. Anyone else notice how the shape-shifting sequences use such smooth fluid animation? Super clever technique that really brings Squidgy’s character to life!

Just stumbled on Squidgy today after seeing it on The Hub UK’s schedule. So glad I did! The episodes are short and sweet, perfect for my little one’s attention span. Plus the sing-alongs are addictive 😄 Anyone know if there’s a soundtrack or album released somewhere?

@CuriousKidWatcher Not sure about an official soundtrack yet, but JD Films does share some songs on their YouTube channel! Worth checking out if you want to sing along with Squidgy at home.

I’ve noticed Squidgy is being aired alongside several of the regular Hub shows in their daytime preschool block—seems like it’s part of a nice little lineup with about five other kid favorites. It’s great they’ve sandwiched it with familiar shows to keep the little ones engaged without too much switching around. Makes for a smooth, comforting viewing experience for the 4-8 crowd!

Write a conversation asking if they still have Maryoku Yummy (the show about a group of creatures called Yummies that care for wishes before they are granted) and the WotWots (can't remember what that show was about) in the same HubBub block as Squidgy

Hey everyone! I’m loving the Squidgy episodes on The Hub UK right now. Does anyone know if they still have Maryoku Yummy in the same HubBub preschool block? I used to watch that show ages ago—it was about those cute little creatures called Yummies who take care of wishes before they come true, right?

Also, is The WotWots still part of the lineup? I can’t quite remember what that show was about but I vaguely recall it being really fun and a bit… out-of-this-world? If anyone’s got the latest HubBub schedule, would love a rundown!

Thanks!

Hey @CuriousKidWatcher! Yes, Maryoku Yummy is still part of the HubBub block—they rotate episodes pretty regularly. Definitely still airing alongside Squidgy and a few others.

As for The WotWots, you’re right about it being a bit out there! It’s about two curious alien siblings exploring Earth and learning about animals and the world around them. It’s still airing but seems to pop up a bit less frequently these days. Still a nice complement to the rest of the preschool shows!

I can confirm Maryoku Yummy and The WotWots are both mixed in with Squidgy during the HubBub block. It’s a great combination of magical, musical, and educational content for younger kids. I love how they balance the whimsical stuff like Squidgy and Maryoku Yummy with the more exploratory adventures in The WotWots!

User: CuriousKidWatcher
Dec 22, 2024, 09:55 AM
Thanks so much, everyone! That’s exactly what I wanted to know. I’m going to set up a little viewing schedule for my niece — sounds like a perfect mix! Glad all these lovely shows are still going strong on The Hub UK.

Write a reply saying there is also lots of good stuff on the regular Hub (not HubBub), such as Transformers Prime and 6 others

Just to add, while HubBub has all those great preschool shows like Squidgy, Maryoku Yummy, and The WotWots, the regular Hub channel also airs lots of good stuff for older kids and tweens. They’ve got Transformers Prime and a bunch of other popular series like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Justice League Unlimited, Strawberry Shortcake, G.I. Joe: Renegades, Monster Allergy, and LEGO Ninjago.

So there’s something for pretty much every age group on The Hub Network right now! If you’ve got older kids, it’s worth checking out their evening and weekend slots too.

User1:
Hey everyone, has anyone heard what WBD plans to do with Hub UK after buying out Mind Candy and Hasbro’s shares? Feels like a big move—anyone got the inside scoop or official statements on their strategy?

User2:
Good question! I know WBD took full control recently, but I haven’t seen much about their plans. Hub UK’s lineup seems pretty solid, but are they going to rebrand, change the programming, or push more original content like Cat & Bird? Would love to know if they’re aiming at younger kids, older kids, or a mix.

User3:
From what I’ve read, WBD wants to expand their kids’ content footprint in the UK and Europe, so that might mean more investment in original shows and maybe partnerships with their existing franchises. But no official word on rebranding or shutting down Hub UK yet. Probably trying to leverage the channel to complement their streaming platforms.

User4:
I’m curious if shows like Cat & Bird will get bigger budgets or better distribution now. WBD owning the channel outright could mean a push for exclusive content or even merging with Cartoon Network’s UK offering. Anyone got confirmation on any upcoming changes or announcements?

Forum Thread Title:
Big Changes Coming to The Hub UK — Rebranding as CN Too & New Shows Incoming!

Hey everyone, just spotted some chatter online that starting Feb 17, The Hub UK is getting rebranded as CN Too! Along with that, some huge Cartoon Network favorites like Chaotic, Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, and Adventure Time are joining the lineup. This feels like a big move for the channel.

Does anyone know if shows like Squidgy and the other preschool titles are staying on, or is everything about to be revamped?

Great question! From what I heard, despite the rebrand to CN Too and the new Cartoon Network-heavy programming, the following 11 shows are confirmed to stay on the channel:

Squidgy
Maryoku Yummy
The WotWots
Cat & Bird
Super Monsters
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Monster Allergy
SheZow
Transformers: Rescue Bots
Care Bears to the Rescue
Jade Armor
So the preschool block and some other fan-favorite series aren’t going anywhere right away, which is a relief.

That’s an interesting mix — classic Cartoon Network hits alongside these preschool and family shows. Makes sense to keep the preschool content for the younger audience while broadening the channel’s appeal with Gumball and Steven Universe for older kids and tweens.

Yeah, and apparently the change to CN Too is part of WBD’s broader strategy to unify their brands in the UK market. So expect more Cartoon Network shows to roll in gradually, but they’re keeping a footprint for their existing original and acquired kids’ content. Hopefully this means some cross-promos and new shows that cater to all ages.

Nice to hear Squidgy and the preschool shows will still be around! I’ll keep watching with my little one for sure. Curious if anyone knows the new daily schedule yet or where the Cartoon Network shows like Adventure Time will be slotted in?

User: TVTimeUK

No full schedules out just yet, but word is the CN Too rebrand will still keep preschool blocks in the daytime, with CN favorites like Gumball and Steven Universe taking afternoon and evening slots. Sounds like a solid lineup for kids of all ages.

Proud to see Squidgy sticking around through the rebrand! It’s cool that JD Films’ work remains part of the channel’s core identity even as the lineup expands.

Thread Summary:
The Hub UK will become CN Too on February 17, 2025, adding blockbuster Cartoon Network shows including Chaotic, Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, and Adventure Time. Despite the rebrand, 11 existing shows—including Squidgy, Maryoku Yummy, and Cat & Bird—will remain on the channel, maintaining a strong preschool and family presence alongside the new animated favorites. The move reflects WBD’s plan to integrate and diversify their programming across age groups.

Just to add, I heard that while the overall channel is rebranding to CN Too, the preschool daytime block will actually keep its current name and branding as HubBub for now. So the Squidgy, Maryoku Yummy, The WotWots, and Cat & Bird lineup will still air under the familiar HubBub banner in the mornings and early afternoons. Seems like WBD wants to maintain that gentle, trusted identity specifically for younger viewers while CN Too branding takes over the rest of the schedule for older kids and tweens. A smart move to keep audiences feeling at home! Write a conversation asking if the rebrand was the reason the sitcoms at night were removed in January

Hey @TheHubUKFan and others, quick question — do you think the rebrand to CN Too had anything to do with the removal of those classic sitcoms at night back in January? Shows like Happy Days, ALF, and Sister Sister suddenly disappeared from the schedule around then. Feels like a big shift away from the old Hub vibe even before the official name change. Anyone heard any reasons or insider info?

User: ToonFanUK
Feb 10, 2025, 02:30 PM
@CuriousKidWatcher That’s a good point. From what I gather, WBD started phasing out the older live-action sitcoms in January to make room for more consistent animated blocks and to align the channel more with their broader kids-and-tween-oriented branding ahead of the rebrand. It’s a step to make the channel feel more modern and streamlined, prepping viewers for the CN Too launch.

User: GreenBlobFan92

Yeah, the sitcom removal was definitely part of the channel refocus. While those shows were nostalgic, they probably didn’t fit with WBD’s vision for a more animation-heavy, age-targeted lineup. Makes sense they wanted a clearer brand identity leading into the CN Too changes.

User: AnimationAddict
Feb 10, 2025, 03:10 PM
I agree. The adult or family sitcoms always felt out of place on The Hub. With the rebrand, WBD is clearly doubling down on animation and younger demographics, so cutting those older shows early was probably strategic to ease the transition and clarify the channel’s new direction without confusing viewers.

User: TheHubUKFan
Feb 10, 2025, 03:30 PM
All good points. Makes the channel feel fresher and more focused. Good news for shows like Squidgy which fit perfectly with the preschool HubBub block. The daytime block staying as HubBub means the young ones won’t lose their favorite comforting shows while the older audience gets the new CN Too content later. Win-win!

Heads up everyone! On Feb 17, CN Too (formerly The Hub UK) is doing a huge “Marathon of Marathons” featuring Chaotic, Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, and Adventure Time. Seems like the perfect way to celebrate the rebrand launch with some of Cartoon Network’s biggest hits all day long. Can’t wait!

User: CuriousKidWatcher

@ToonFanUK That sounds amazing! Does anyone know what time the marathon starts and how long it runs? Want to make sure I don’t miss any of the episodes!

User: TheHubUKFan
Feb 12, 2025, 11:05 AM
@CuriousKidWatcher From what I’ve seen, the marathon kicks off early in the morning around 6:00 AM and runs through most of the day, probably wrapping up late evening. They’re dedicating big blocks to each show, so it should be an epic day of Cartoon Network classics on CN Too!

User: GreenBlobFan92
Feb 12, 2025, 11:30 AM
Sounds like a perfect binge day! I’m definitely setting up the kids with snacks and blankets. Hope they keep the regular HubBub preschool block running in the morning so the little ones still get their Squidgy fix alongside all that marathon madness.

User: AnimationAddict
Feb 12, 2025, 12:00 PM
I’m guessing the marathon fills the afternoon and evening slots mostly, so parents with older kids have some great viewing lined up. Looking forward to the mix of humor and adventure from those shows!
