Team Umizoomiis an American live-action/animated musical preschool children's television series created by Soo Kim, Michael T. Smith, and Jennifer Twomey, and developed by Teri Weiss for Nickelodeon and the Nick Jr. Channel. Twomey and Kim additionally serve as executive producers, and Kim also serves as a producer with Smith and Marcy Pritchard. The series places an emphasis on mathematical concepts, such as counting, sequences, shapes, patterns, measurements, and equalities.^[1]Team Umizoomi premiered on January 25, 2010, with "The Kite Festival" and "The Aquarium Fix-It", and ended on April 24, 2015, with "Umi Rescue Copter". Four seasons with a total of 77 episodes were made.^[2]^[3]

Premise and format

The series follows the adventures of the titular Team Umizoomi, a trio of tiny superheroes who use mathematics to solve whatever problems occur in and around their home of UmiCity in every episode.

The series utilizes a combination of live actors and props with animated characters, vehicles and environments.

Characters

Main

Milli (voiced by Sophia Fox in Season 1 and Madeleine Rose Yen in Seasons 1-4 in the US and by Teressa Gallagher in the UK) is a six year old girl. She has abilities related to patterns and measuring. By singing certain phrases, she can use patterns to solve problems. She is often the one to lead the team in many of their missions. In addition to being able to change the pattern of her dress, Milli can also alter the appearance of another object or person to match whatever pattern she is projecting on it, and her ponytails can extend to serve as measuring tools, such as a ruler, a weighing scale, and a thermometer. Later seasons would make Milli extra proficient at martial arts, primarily when it comes to jumps and karate chops.
Geo (voiced by Ethan Kempner in Seasons 1-3 and Juan Mirt in Season 4 in the US and by Joanna Ruiz in the UK) is Milli's brother. His singing voice is provided by Brody Bett. He mainly solves problems based on shapes and can use them to make different kinds of objects, ranging from food, tools, and clothing to animals, vehicles, and buildings.^[4] For these purposes, he always has usage of his shape belt, which grants him the ability to summon any shape he needs, but later episodes would give him two more tools; the shape splitter, a longsword that can cut a shape into any form needed, and the shape magnet, a horseshoe magnet that can function as a grappling hook by attaching to any specific shape. He wears a pair of roller skates, and he rarely takes them off on dry land.
Bot (voiced by Donovan Patton in the US and by David Holt in the UK) is a green robot who can extend his limbs to reach things or use the screen on his belly (referred to as his "belly screen") to make calls and do math. He is Milli and Geo's primary caretaker, and as a robot features many retractable tools.
UmiCar (voiced by P.T. Walkley) is the car that drives the team wherever their help is needed. He primarily communicates via engine noises that sound like a cat purring through an electronic filter, though he can pronounce his name with a clear and deep voice on rare occasions. He lacks a face in the first fifteen episodes of season 1 and he gains a face in three episodes of season 1.

Recurring

DumpTruck is a living dump truck who doesn't speak real words and doesn't play fair, the only instance of him not cheating is in “UmiCar’s Birthday Present.”
The Shape Bandit (voiced by P.T. Walkley) is a bandit cat who steals shapes.
Squiddy (voiced by Chris Phillips) is a squid who creates all sorts of inventions.
The TroubleMakers (Little Trouble voiced by Nick Heatherington and Big Trouble voiced by Jason Harris) are two mischievous foes with the use of their TroubleRays stir up all sorts of trouble in Umi City and often sabotage Team Umizoomi in their tracks.
- TroubleTruck is the duo's transportation unit.
DoorMouse (voiced by Joe Narcisco and Chris Phillips) is a helpful friend who guards all the doors of UmiCity. He also guarding bridges, animals, and anything that needs guarding. Although he may sometimes get a little confused, he usually helps the Team on their missions and knows he can rely on help from them.
Shark Car is UmiCar's best friend. As his name suggests, he is a toy car designed to look like a shark.
