Hoot Hoot Go!

Giggle and Hoot is an Australian children's television "wrap-around" program block that aired on the ABC Kids channel. The series was produced from 2009 to 2019, with the final episodes airing in 2020, and depicted the adventures of Jimmy Giggle (played by Jimmy Rees) and his best friend, Hoot the Owl (played by Damian Wagland). It also aired on ABC from 2009 to 2011. In later seasons, they were joined by a second owl called Hootabelle (played by Jemma Armstrong) along with other friends and their toys.

Characters

Jimmy Giggle

In the program, Jimmy Giggle is shown to enjoy mending objects and a talent for creating new things out of everyday items; for instance, he used a bath to make a bed, and the walls of his house were sewn and buttoned together. He also has a magic button that he relies on which never works. A dinosaur named Giggleosaurus is Jimmy Giggle's favourite toy. He plays several musical instruments, including the ukulele, double bass, baritone saxophone, piano, and guitar.

Hoot the Owl

Hoot the Owl is Jimmy Giggle's best friend. Although owls are traditionally nocturnal, the show depicts him favouring the daytime, which Hoot finds "very exciting". However, due to his nocturnality, he is prone to falling asleep. Hoot lives in a chest of drawers that he fashioned into his own personal apartment. Hoot plays the harmonica and triangle. He also uses a cloudier to make clouds appear.

Hoot's interests include "owl" snacks, the colour blue, "owl" naps, hootball (a portmanteau of "hoot" and "football") and his favourite toy Mini-Hoot. He and Jimmy Giggle enjoy playing, singing, and spending time together. They also play dress-up and have been, for example, seen dressed up as astronauts and pirates.

Hoot's Night Watch

At the end of each episode, a sequence called the "Night Watch" plays when Hoot is "flying" across the land of Giggle and Hoot to "ensure everyone is tucked up in bed." Hootabelle helps him by lighting up the stars with her "Star Twinkler" so he can see his way in the "Nighty Night" sky. Hoot and Hootabelle often meet up after The Night Watch to fly and play everywhere in the land of Giggle and Hoot.

Hootabelle

Later seasons include a purple female owl named Hootabelle. She was created as a companion and close friend for Hoot. In the series, she lives in a "Purple Button Tree" and has a toy cat called Gigglepaws, who intimidates Hoot as he is terrified of cats. Hootabelle assures him that Gigglepaws is a "friendly" cat. She also has a toy butterfly called Giggle Wings who likes flying around the Giggle and Hoot house. Hootabelle uses her "Star Twinkler" to make the night sky's stars light up and her "Bookifier" to make random books appear from her library. She often visits the Giggle and Hoot house for an "Owl Pal Play Date".

She enjoys the colour purple, books, butterflies, owl snacks, worm-flavoured milkshakes, and singing.

Giggleosaurus, Mini-Hoot, and Gigglepaws

Jimmy Giggle, Hoot and Hootabelle each have a favourite toy. Giggleosaurus the dinosaur is Jimmy Giggle's favourite; Mini-Hoot belongs to Hoot, and Hootabelle has a toy cat called Gigglepaws.

Giggleosaurus, Mini-Hoot and Gigglepaws are treated and spoken to as real characters by Jimmy Giggle and the owls and are often used while playing. They are brought to life in animated form through various songs in the show, such as "Go Giggleosaurus," "On A Mini-Adventure," and "Hoot! Hoot! It's A Lovely Day."

Additional characters

Additional puppet characters that have appeared on the show include:

• Hootoclaws: An owl version of Santa Claus that uses his "Christmasafier" to bring Christmas spirit to the Land of Giggle and Hoot during the Christmas holidays.
• Cosmo Carrot, Bessie Broccoli and Tommy Tomato: The singing vegetables of the Gigglearium.
• Pirate Hootbeard: A legendary owl pirate captain who sails the Giggle Seas and lives on Button Island with his treasured toy, Pirate Mini-Hootbeard. Whenever he becomes upset he loses his signature "Yarr!". He debuted in the one hour special The Legend of Pirate Hootbeard, alongside three live-action and graphic effects clips, "The Piratey Pirate Hootbeard", "Hootastic Seas" and "Flying Giggle Ship" which follow him and his "pirate pals". When he goes on an adventure he uses his "Treasureafier" to make things "piratey" in the land of Giggle and Hoot.
• Giggle Fangs: A "friendly" bat. He lives at the edge of the Giggle Forest in the Batty Lair with his favourite toys, Giggle Bug and Mini-Fangella. He has "Super Sonic Bat Hearing" and has a strong liking of "bat naps" in his upside-down bed. Other things he likes include the colour grey, quietness, surprising his friends (with Jimmy Giggle getting reminded that he and Mini-Fangella are "friendly" bats) and making things batty with his "Bat Bolt".
• Hootpa: An elderly, bearded owl who is Hoot's grandfather and Pirate Hootbeard's brother. He likes taking naps on comfy cushions, having tea parties with his friends, using his "Pa Wand" to help people, and sliding around on his Super Slippers. He has a toy puppy named Giggle Bones who is female and uses her "super sniffy" nose to find things.
• Hootagadget: An intelligent, red female owl who is a close friend to Hootabelle and Hootly. She lives in the Gadget Cubby with her toy dragon Giggle Spikey and occasionally goes on missions with her friends. Gadgets that she uses include a "Rainbowifier", "Wing Watches", "Skyboards," "Hootoheadsets", a "Gadget Computer" which she uses to code and fix broken tools, and her "Five Steps to Bed Detector" to make sure everyone in the Land of Giggle and Hoot has completed them.
