Trucktown is a Canadian All-CGI Cartoon from Nelvana aimed at the preschool demographic. It is the Animated Adaptation of a series of children's books written by acclaimed author Jon Scieszka, who is best known for his Fractured Fairy Tales like The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Stinky Cheese Man, as well as Time Warp Trio. The series was broadcast on Treehouse TV for 40 episodes over 2 seasons between 2014 and 2017.Trucktown is set in the eponymous town, which is in a world of sentient trucks. The series protagonist is Jack (Amos Crawley), a young and spirited truck who just loves having fun - and by that, we mean the truck definition of fun, which is high-speed, mud-splattering, hood-crashing fun! Alongside a host of fellow trucks, like Dan the dump truck (Joe Pingue), Max the monster truck (Robert Tinkler), Gabby the garbage truck (Stacey DePass), Ted the tow truck (Tyler Muree), Rosie the wrecking crane (Stephanie Anne Mills), Felix the fire truck (Jay Schramek), Craner the construction crane (Adrian Truss), Melvin the cement mixer (Scott McCord), Pete the bulldozer, and Big Rig (both Dan Petronijevic), Jack always finds something exciting to do and new games to play around Trucktown (most of which involves building things up and then smashing them down), all while learning lessons along the way!Nelvana has made every episode available through their Treehouse Direct channel on Youtube but only viewable in select countries.Compare to The Adventures of Chuck & Friends, another vehicle-themed animated Preschool Show from Nelvana. | |

A Lizard Named "Liz" | |
| Trucktown / int_2c06d796 | comment |
A Lizard Named "Liz": Craner the construction crane provides an obvious example, although most of the other trucks have names that share alliteration with the type of truck they are (wrecking crane Rosie, garbage truck Gabby, dump truck Dan, monster truck Max, etc.). | |

Gentle Giant | |
| Trucktown / int_36c64123 | comment |
Gentle Giant: Craner is the tallest truck in Trucktown, but also a well-mannered gentleman who looks out for the other trucks and helps them build things. Double subverted with Big Rig; while initially presented as The Bully, he quickly turns out to be simply be actually a pretty decent guy with a bit of a stubborn streak and a terse manner of speaking. | |
