Higglytown Heroes is a Playhouse Disney cartoon set in Higglytown (of course), a town populated by people who resemble nesting dolls. It aired from September 12, 2004 to January 7, 2008.Our heroes (no pun intended) are four kids, Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, and Kip, plus Fran the talking squirrel. Once per Episode, the kids find themselves in some kind of troublesome situation that gets fixed by a "hero" working in a specific occupation (such as a doctor, a plumber, etc.). | |

Borrowed Catchphrase: In "Twinkle Tooth", Twinkle is unable to come up with a convoluted idea on how she could get her loose tooth back from the sink drain, so the others do the honors for her, right down to them saying her catchphrase "Aw, pickles!" when Fran points out the one fatal flaw in their idea - there are no whales in the sink drain. | |

Big Disaster Plot: "Calling All Heroes" has Kip ordering pizza that instantly grows from just a few drops of water for Wayne's birthday party, but a storm happens on the day itself. Pizza Guy's truck gets blown over on the way to deliver the pizza, and the pellets fly out of it and grow into giant pizzas that rain on Higglytown. Wayne gets upset that his birthday was ruined, but he and his friends learn that all the heroes they've met have gathered together to help the citizens recover from the disaster and repair the town. | |

Art Shift | |
| Higglytown Heroes / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Twinkle will have a big idea about how to solve whatever problem, with the art style shifting from CGI to 2D animation resembling doodles in a notebook for the duration that she is presenting the idea. Her ideas are always incredibly unrealistic, and Fran will point out a problem with the idea after Twinkle is done explaining the idea, causing the latter to say "Aw, pickles!" in response. | |
