Mischief City is a Canadian animated children's show based on the 1986 picture book of the same name by English–Canadian author children's author Tim Wynne-Jones. It was produced by the Canadian television company, Shaftesbury Films, who are better known for their live-action shows like Life with Derek and Murdoch Mysteries.The series follows Winchell Adams (voiced by Austin Di Iulio, best known for Timothy Goes to School), an eight-year-old boy who is often whisked away to the fantastical world of Mischief City where he has misadventures with a girl named Maxine (Annick Obonsawin) and her two pet monsters, Hey Hey (Adrian Truss) and Mr. Cube (John Stocker). However, the four often run into conflict with Maxine’s nasty older brother Duane (Peter Oldring) and his pet monster/sidekick Mr. Square (Frank Welker).The show ran on YTV and lasted for a total of two seasons of twenty-six episodes from January 4 to December 22, 2005. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Winchell’s baby sister Cleo. She’s usually the cause of a lot of Winchell’s problems back in his world. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Mischief City / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It’s unclear whether Winchell actually physically travels to Mischief City or if it is all just in his imagination. The fact that he often knows more about the setting than the inhabitants, how he just pulls impossible inventions seemingly out of nowhere and some of his actions near the end of the episode in his world implies that it might be the latter. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Mischief City / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: The episodes usually go like this: Winchell is confronted with a real-world problem, but before he can solve it, he is whisked away to the fantasy world of Mischief City. There he is immediately greeted by Maxine, Hey Hey and Mr. Cube. Maxine usually informs Winchell of some trouble or event occurring in Mischief City which the group attends to, resulting in an adventure. When the adventure concludes, Winchell returns to the real world and is able to deal with the initial problem. | |

Vote Early, Vote Often: One episode has Duane becoming the new mayor of Mischief City by voting for himself a million times (despite doing so being illegal as Maxine points out) with Winchell taking advantage of the situation by appealing to Duane's ego to manipulate him into making the city better and more fun by implementing various things. The end of the episode has Winchell and Maxine tricking Duane into signing a document that will make him officially step down and hand the position to Hey Hey and Mr. Cube. | |

Advanced Tech 2000: All of the devices Winchell brings out end in a number in the thousands. One episode has Duane creating a device and putting ten million at the end of the name to emphasize its greatness. | |

Big Eater | |
| Mischief City / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Hey Hey and Mr. Cube are capable of consuming mountains of food without breaking a sweat. Duane steals this trait from them in one episode so he can win an eating contest, but he ends up mutating into an insatiably hungry monster within a matter of hours. One episode has Cleo consuming Winchell’s huge bag of Halloween candy all in one night, although she suffers from a huge stomach ache by the end of it. | |

The Everyman: Winchell. While he normally isn't capable of performing the same squash and stretch Toon Physics as Maxine, Hey Hey, and Mr. Cube, he's more than able to keep up with them using his extensive knowledge of the setting. | |

Toon Physics: Mischief City and its inhabitants run on this, with Maxine being a frequent user of it. Winchell is also capable of it, but only when he is his superhero alter-ego Captain Kookamunga. | |
