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:
The End of The Hub UK — Hello CN Too Starting Feb 17!

User: NostalgicFan95

Just heard the big news: The Hub UK is shutting down and rebranding as Cartoon Network Too starting Feb 17! Bit of a bittersweet moment — I’ve grown attached to the mix of shows like Squidgy, Cat & Bird, and the Transformers lineup. Anyone else feeling the same?

User: UK_TV_Kiddo
Jan 25, 2025, 08:50 AM
Yeah, I saw that announcement too. Kind of expected given WBD’s ownership and the push for brand consolidation. Curious what the CN Too lineup will be like — will it carry over many preschool shows or focus mostly on older kids and tweens?

User: JDFilmsFan

Really hope Squidgy makes the jump to CN Too! The show’s music and gentle vibe were perfect for the younger audience, and it stands out from the usual action-heavy CN content. Would love it if the new channel keeps a balanced schedule.

User: TheHubUKFan

From what I gather, CN Too is going to be more closely aligned with Cartoon Network’s existing brand identity. That probably means more of the classic CN action and comedy shows, but I also heard some preschool and family-friendly shows might stick around, at least for a while. Fingers crossed!

Sad to see The Hub go, but it makes sense business-wise. The schedule was so varied — from Squidgy and Maryoku Yummy to Transformers Prime and My Little Pony. CN Too might streamline that but hopefully won’t lose all the charm and creativity of the preschool block.

User: CartoonNetworkFanUK

For those wondering about programming, CN Too will definitely amp up shows like Teen Titans Go! and Ben 10, along with Toonami action series. Preschool programming might get cut down or moved to their Boomerang or Cartoonito blocks. It’ll be interesting to see how they juggle all that.

Hope Cat & Bird survives the switch! It’s such a beautifully made show, and the UK really needs more original preschool content like that. Does anyone know if 12foot6 has said anything about the CN Too change?

User: JDFilmsFan
Jan 25, 2025, 10:55 AM
Not heard from JD Films yet, but I imagine they’ll try to keep Squidgy visible somewhere, maybe even on streaming platforms if the channel shifts focus. Hopefully The Hub’s musical classics won’t just disappear.

User: UK_TV_Kiddo

I guess this means the end of the kind of unique, slightly offbeat lineup The Hub offered. CN Too is probably going to be a safer, more commercial brand. But who knows? Maybe they’ll surprise us with some fresh originals or acquisitions.

User: NostalgicFan95

Well, only three more weeks of The Hub UK. Time to savor those Squidgy sing-alongs and Cat & Bird adventure episodes while we can. Thanks for all the good memories, Hub!

Thread Summary:
The Hub UK officially transitions to Cartoon Network Too on February 17, 2025. Fans express nostalgia and hope for their favorite preschool shows like Squidgy and Cat & Bird to continue airing or find homes on other platforms. Many anticipate CN Too will align with Cartoon Network’s more action- and comedy-driven lineup, possibly reducing preschool content or moving it elsewhere within the WBD network. The community looks forward to seeing how the channel rebrand affects programming and appreciates The Hub’s unique programming legacy.

Write a reply where from Feb 17 Ben 10, Steven Universe, Chaotic, Regular Show and Adventure Time are added, but the following 10 shows stay

Just got some more details on the CN Too launch schedule starting Feb 17! They’re definitely adding some big Cartoon Network hits like:

Ben 10
Steven Universe
Chaotic
Regular Show
Adventure Time
So great to see those fan favorites coming to the UK channel.

But here’s the interesting part — they’re keeping a solid chunk of The Hub’s beloved lineup too, including these 10 shows that will stay on CN Too:

Squidgy
Cat & Bird
Maryoku Yummy
The WotWots
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Code Lyoko
Bakugan: Evolutions
The Spectacular Spider-Man
Care Bears to the Rescue
Looks like WBD is aiming for a nice balance between new CN originals and the gentle, imaginative preschool and family content The Hub UK was known for. Really glad Squidgy and friends aren’t disappearing anytime soon!

Hey everyone, quick question — with The Hub UK turning into CN Too next month, does anyone know if any part of the schedule will still keep “The Hub” name or branding? Like, will the preschool block still be called HubBub or something similar, or is it all switching over completely?

User: TheHubUKFan
Jan 25, 2025, 01:35 PM
Good question @CuriousKidWatcher! From what I’ve heard, while the main channel will rebrand fully to Cartoon Network Too, the preschool block during the mornings will still keep the “Hub” name for a little while. So the HubBub block, or something close to it, will remain as a preschool strand within CN Too’s schedule initially. This helps keep continuity for younger viewers used to that branding.

User: JDFilmsFan
Jan 25, 2025, 01:50 PM
Yeah, I saw an internal memo that said the preschool section, roughly from 9am to 12pm weekdays, will still be referred to as “HubBub” even after the rebrand. It’s probably a way to keep existing shows like Squidgy and Cat & Bird under a familiar banner while CN Too focuses more on older kids’ programming later in the day.

User: BrightEyesDad
Jan 25, 2025, 02:10 PM
That makes sense. So mornings for the preschool Hub stuff, then afternoon and evening for full Cartoon Network branding and shows like Ben 10 and Adventure Time? I like that they’re easing the transition instead of wiping the slate clean immediately.

User: TVTimeUK
Jan 25, 2025, 02:30 PM
Exactly — it’s a gradual change. I expect the “Hub” name might fade over time once viewers get used to the CN Too brand, but for now, it’s smart for WBD to hold onto what’s working in the preschool block. So if you’ve got little kids who love Squidgy, the morning HubBub block should feel pretty familiar even after Feb 17.

User: CuriousKidWatcher
Jan 25, 2025, 02:45 PM
Thanks for the info, everyone! Good to know the Hub name isn’t disappearing overnight. I’ll keep an eye out for my niece’s favorite shows and see how the new schedule shapes up.

Hey all, just noticed from the upcoming CN Too schedule that Dan Vs. isn’t listed anymore. It had been part of The Hub UK lineup for a while. Does anyone know why it’s been removed? It was a pretty fun show with good humor for older kids and teens. Was it a rights issue or just a programming decision?

User: TheHubUKFan
Jan 26, 2025, 09:45 AM
@GreenBlobFan92 Good spot! From what I’ve heard, Dan Vs. was taken out mainly due to licensing agreements expiring. WBD seems to be focusing more on their in-house or Cartoon Network-owned properties for CN Too, so some third-party shows like Dan Vs. didn’t make the cut.

User: BrightEyesDad
Jan 26, 2025, 10:10 AM
I agree, it’s probably about streamlining content under the CN brand. They’re adding shows like Ben 10 and Steven Universe which are big draws, so it makes sense from a business perspective. Still, it’s a shame for those who enjoyed Dan Vs. — it had its own charm!

User: JDFilmsFan
Jan 26, 2025, 10:35 AM
Yeah, Dan Vs. wasn’t a WBD property originally, so I’m guessing it wasn’t worth renewing the rights. This kind of curation happens whenever channels rebrand or get bought out. Hopefully, it’ll pop up on a streaming service somewhere.

User: CuriousKidWatcher
Jan 26, 2025, 11:00 AM
Thanks for the info, everyone. I’ll have to check if Dan Vs. is still available on streaming or DVD. It’s always sad to see shows quietly disappear after you get used to them.

User: TVTimeUK
Jan 26, 2025, 11:25 AM
Yep, it’s part of the changing media landscape. With CN Too focusing on core CN brands, unfortunately some titles fall by the wayside. Fingers crossed Dan Vs. gets a digital second life soon!
