Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In mid-2011, with the popularity of The Trash Pack toyline starting up, the inevitable happened: an animated series was created to tie-in, created by Mondo TV with licensing from Moose Toys, the toyline’s creator.The story takes place in Garden City, the town that Ray and Jenny, the main humans of the show, live. The two of them are the son and daughter of Webb, the owner of Trash Town, a robot-run dump. Garbage trucks bring the trash into the Sorter, and robo-haulers are programmed to sort them in the various dump locations.One day, while playing around one of the robot-haulers, Ray and Jenny discover a flat piece of chewing gum that miraculously pops up to life to frighten a discarded piece of pizza and an apple core: living garbage! The dump turns out to be the home of the Trashies, garbage that was disposed of improperly by humans and came to life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Keeping the secret of the Trashies, Ray and Jenny help them with their big new mission: to stop Mr. Binner, a slob of a business man in Garden City. Not only does he litter, which means more Trashies are created, but he’s also certain that the Trashies are alive as well, and it’s up to the heroes to prevent him from doing any more damage.Despite airing in Greece, Spain, and its home country of Italy, the show, meant for an English-speaking market to start, never made it to the country it was supposed to. The press boasted 26 episodes, each 13 minutes long in length, but even the countries that got it, never received this amount. All that remains from this show are seven episodes, translated into both Greek and Spanish, and the theme song in English, along with the information of what was supposed to happen. The show appears to have been made with an English audience in mind, however, as signs in the show remain in English.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A second, more successful attempt at an animated series would be released in 2013, via a web cartoon.

Canon Foreigner: The humans in the show were made only for this series. The robo-haulers are only seen in this iteration of the franchise; despite the fact the garbage trucks were made for toys. Socksy, Patches’ twin brother, only exists in this show.

comment
2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The garbage trucks and robo-haulers are often animated in CGI thanks to being vehicles. Unfortunately, the 3D models of the robo-haulers are missing their eyebrows, leading to them to jarringly disappear and reappear when they are animated traditionally for closeup and talking shots.
