Happy Monster Band (branded as Happy Monster Band: World Tour in season 2) is an animated children's television series that originally aired on Playhouse Disney from October 1, 2007, to October 28, 2008. The series was created by Don Carter and produced by Kickstart Productions. It is about a group of monsters who perform songs about friendship, love, exercise, chores, and other preschool themes.
There are four monsters that make up the Happy Monster Band: Ink, Bluz, L.O., and Frred. Each of the monster's name reflects its color: Ink's signature color is pink, Bluz's is blue, L.O.'s is yellow and Frred's is red. They were designed by Don Carter. All four of the band members are children, but their singing voices are those of the members of the band Tally Hall. In the UK version, children's voices are used for the singing portions.
The first season introduces several characters.
The music was written and performed by indie rock band Tally Hall. The characters and concept for the show were created by children's book author and illustrator, Don Carter. [2] Judy Rothman Rofé wrote all the episodes in Season One and five of the episodes in Season Two.
The shorts have been edited to replace the mention of the playhousedisney.com website with the one for a corresponding country, most notably playhousedisney.co.uk for the UK dub and playhousedisney.de for the German dub, and disneyjunior.com after Playhouse Disney rebranded as Disney Junior.
