The ZhuZhus (formerly known as Polly and the ZhuZhu Pets[1]) is an animated children's television series developed by Hugh Duffy for Disney Channel and YTV. The series is based on the American toy franchise ZhuZhu Pets. It is the second animated adaptation starring the Fab Four; Pipsqueak, Mr. Squiggles, Num Nums, and Chunk, following Quest for Zhu in 2011.

The series is about Frankie Pamplemousse, a young girl who owns four talking hamsters. It debuted on Disney Channel in the United States on September 12, 2016.[8]

Plot

[edit]

The ZhuZhus is about 8-year-old[9] Frankie Pamplemousse, who lives in Anytown[10] with her parents who run a plumbing home business called Pamplemouse Plumbing.[11] She owns four talking hamsters called the ZhuZhus; Pipsqueak, Mr. Squiggles, Num Nums, and Chunk, as they have adventures in their town.

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Frankie Pamplemousse[12] (voiced by Jenna Warren) is the 8-year-old[9] owner of the ZhuZhus. She likes sports and hanging out with her friends, the ZhuZhus.[13] She has blonde hair and blue eyes.
  • Pipsqueak (voiced by Tajja Isen) is Frankie's first ZhuZhu, and the unofficial leader of the ZhuZhus.[14][13] She loves adventure, and will do anything to help Frankie and the team out. She is fearless, energetic, and very loyal to Frankie. She is yellow and her birthmark, which are located on the Zhus' backs, is a shooting star because she always fires ideas and enthusiasm in every way.
  • Mr. Squiggles (voiced by Richard Binsley) is Frankie's second ZhuZhu.[15] He is very smart, resourceful, and likes science. He also creates machines and gadgets that help the team out when in need. He is orange, has wrinkles under his eyes, wears a belt, and his birthmark is a spiral because his mind always spins with new ideas.
  • Num Nums (voiced by Stephany Seki) is Frankie's third ZhuZhu, and Pipsqueak's best friend. She is a very shy and a cautious thinker, and isn't as daring as the rest of the team,[16] but she will do anything to help them. Despite this however, she still has a tough side whenever she or the team is insulted.[17][18] She is purple, wears pink glasses, and her birthmark is a heart because she always wears it on her sleeve.
  • Chunk (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is Frankie's fourth ZhuZhu, and the tallest Zhu. As his name suggests, he is very chunky and strong. He is also very stylish and narcissistic, and usually serves as the comic relief. His cousins are Jilly and Bean, two mischievous twins. He is grey and his birthmark is a sun because he lights up the whole room whenever he smiles.[19]

Recurring

[edit]
  • Ellen[20] Pamplemousse[21] or "Mom" (voiced by Stacey DePass) is Frankie's mother and a professional plumber for Pamplemousse Plumbing. She used to be a part of the Power Badge Girls.
  • Stanley[22] Pamplemousse[21] or "Dad" (voiced by Zachary Bennett) is Frankie's father and also a professional plumber for Pamplemousse Plumbing. He loves music and was previously a Wilderness Teen Ranger. Thus, he knows a lot about nature.
  • Wilfred P. Kerdle[23] or Mr. Kerdle (voiced by Patrick McKenna) is the cranky janitor of Frankie's school. He tries to stop the Zhus from coming into the school and insults them.
  • Cindy and Mindy Gelato (voiced by Rebecca Brenner and Samantha Weinstein) are twins and Frankie's friends.
  • Madge Mervins (voiced by Brianna D'Aguanno) is Frankie's neighbor and worst enemy. She always tries to beat Frankie at everything. She has blue hair and brown eyes and a cat named Princess Tickyboo.
  • Whendy Sails (voiced by Nicole Stamp) is a celebrity and news reporter for Channel 5.[24]
  • Jessica Beeker (voiced by Addison Holley) is Frankie's favorite popstar.
  • Dr. Phelmholz (voiced by Rob Rubin) is an Austrian doctor from Vienna.[25]

Production

[edit]

The ZhuZhus is produced by Nelvana and Cepia LLC, in association with Corus Entertainment. The series is animated using Toon Boom Animation and recorded in Studio 306 Inc. It was first announced on February 12, 2015, by Kristin Musulin of USA Today as a Nelvana production, with a planned release of 2016.[26] The show was originally referred to as "ZhuZhu Pets" before the official title was revealed.[27] The last episode to air on Disney Channel with that title was "Fur-Vivor/Zhuper Girl", which premiered on October 21, 2016,[2] and the show went on a hiatus. After its hiatus the series gained a new name and Polly's name was changed to Frankie for the rest of the series' run. Eventually all seven episodes that were previously broadcast on Disney Channel were redubbed to say Frankie instead of Polly.

Reception

The series received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences. Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media rated The ZhuZhus a 5 out of 5 stars, stating "The series does well to stand on its own entertainment merit, it also is the sweetest Disney show ever, season 2 must happen and our 5 out of 5 ratings clearly proves that."[66] Bruce Katz of Cepia feels that "the animation further enhanced the personality of the characters," and says that "they've captured the essence of what ZhuZhu Pets is all about."[9]
