Higglytown Heroes is an American CGI-animated children's television series created by George Evelyn, Holly Huckins, Denis Morella, Kent Redeker, and Jeff Ulin. Produced by Wild Brain and Happy Nest, the series aired on the Playhouse Disney block on Disney Channel in the United States. The show's characters are shaped like Russian nesting dolls. In the show, four children Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, Kip, and their best friend, Fran the Squirrel, learn about all of the important jobs that people do in Higglytown. [2] 65 episodes were produced. [3]

Contents

The theme song of the show, Here in Higglytown, is performed by They Might Be Giants, which was also released on their second children's album Here Come the ABCs . After its series finale originally aired on January 7, 2008, reruns aired on Playhouse Disney until March 29, 2009. Disney Junior (the channel) then aired it in reruns from March 23, 2012 until May 16, 2014. The show was added to Disney+ in April 2021. The Higglytown Heroes TV series was made using Alias Maya which was used to design models and textures for the 3D characters, and Photoshop which was used to create the 2D backgrounds and props. [4]

Plot

Each episode focuses primarily on different occupations and the problems that they solve; the characters with these occupations are referred to as "Heroes", due to both the work they do every day, as well as how they assist the characters with resolving conflicts. As the show is a musical, there are at least two songs every episode, relating to both the conflict and the Hero. Sometimes, Heroes may return in later episodes to assist the other characters, in order to demonstrate both effective teamwork, as well as how interconnected each occupation is within everyday life.
