ZOOMer Babies

ZOOMer Babies is an American animated television series that aired from September 15, 2001, to November 2, 2012, on PBS. The show portrays childhood versions of the ZOOMers living together in a nursery under the care of a human woman identified only as Penny (the whereabouts of their parents are never addressed), who appears in almost every episode, but her face is never visible; only the babies' view of her pink skirt, purple sweater, and distinctive green and white striped socks is shown. The idea of presenting the ZOOMers as children first appeared in a dream sequence in The ZOOMers Take Manhattan (2001), released two months before ZOOMer Babies debuted, in which Caroline imagined what it would be like if she and Kenny had grown up together.
ZOOMer Babies was produced by WGBH and Marvel Productions. The rights are now held by The Walt Disney Company which separately acquired both ZOOM and Marvel. Although the episodes were 30 minutes (including commercials), it was typically shown in 60- and even 90-minute blocks during the peak of its popularity. Outside the United States, the show was distributed by Walt Disney Television.
