Wonder Pets! | comment |
And pretty much every parent who watched television with their kid(s) in the mid-to-late 2000s could probably recite the rest by heart.Created by Josh Selig, who had previously created Noggin's Oobi, Wonder Pets! is a series about three cute little baby animals who go on adventures to save other cute little animals. The animation is created with cut-out photographs and all the important dialogue is delivered operatically.The series started as a set of two short films called "Linny the Guinea Pig." Selig made these in between production cycles of Oobi and pitched them to Nickelodeon. He called Nickelodeon "a great partner," saying "They're really the company that first believed in us when we pitched Oobi, and then they believed in us again on Wonder Pets!."The show had three seasons and wrapped production in 2010, but its broadcast history is highly unusual. It began in 2006 and aired most of its third season on Nickelodeon in 2009-2010. After that, the show was moved to the Nick Jr. channel, where there were two new episodes in 2011, three in 2013, one in 2015, and three in 2016. | |

Wonder Pets! / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: In one episode they saved a band of insect musicians called The Beetles. (Three of which were voiced by Lenie Colacino, one of the stars of the musical "Beatlemania.") In another episode they meet three rats named Sammy, Dino and Blue Eyes. And in one episode they rescue a hound dog whose father is a canine version of Elvis Presley. These also count as Parental Bonus. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Wonder Pets! / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Ducks and turtles don't urinate. At least, not the way the show portrays they do. However, they could've been urinating the way they do in reality, as we never actually see them pee, and the terminology they were using was to be simplified for the young audience. Ming-Ming can fly even though she doesn't have any flight feathers yet. | |

Put Down Your Gun and Step Away: Parodied in the episode "Save the Skunk". Ollie the Bunny is a little overzealous about saving an animal, and picks up a toad that obviously doesn't need saving. After Linny informs him that the toad is not who they are there to help, Ming-Ming tells Ollie, 'Put down the toad and step slowly away from the rock.' | |

Potty Emergency: "Save The Puppy!" had a puppy locked in the house alone, while he has to go outside, so the Wonder Pets have to find a way out before the dog bursts his kidneys. Soon even the Wonder Pets find themselves in the same situation as the pup. In the end, they find a way outside and take a piss in great relief. | |

Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Ming-Ming pronounces her "R"s as "W"s (though she can say "L"s fine). Well, she's about five. So it's not really her fault. It's also a Throw It In that carried over from the audition process. Parodied in MAD where she enters a spelling bee and spells the word "serious" with a "w" instead of an "r" and Fudd himself was the judge, declaring it correct. | |

Strictly Formula | |
Wonder Pets! / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: The show's standard formula went as follows: the Wonder Pets are busy relaxing in the school when a phone call comes in from a baby animal. They assemble the flyboat, something happening along the way that ties into a moral that can be used later during the rescue. They then take off in the flyboat, sing a song and go to save the animal, then sing about rescuing it. However, the show often liked to subvert this. "Save the Duckling!", "Save the Nutcracker!" and "Save the Rat Pack!" all did so, and these are just a few examples. | |

Superhero Speciation: To a ridiculous degree. You know as well as we do that baby ducks are born swimmers, but because Tuck Turtle is already the Designated Swimmer, Ming-Ming is the team's resident... flyer. Because ducklings can fly. Before they know how to swim. Sure. | |

Swans A-Swimming: One of the animals in trouble was a cygnet whose head was stuck in a bucket. Except not really—he put the bucket on his head on purpose because he was embarrassed over the fact that he thought he couldn't dance as well as the other swans. After the team shows him that his style of dancing is just as good as any other swan's, he opts to use the bucket as a makeshift stage instead. | |

Smelly Skunk | |
Wonder Pets! / int_81241767 | comment |
Smelly Skunk: The team had to rescue one in "Save the Skunk!"; at the same time, they had to be careful not to scare her otherwise she'll spray them with her stink. When Ollie jumps to conclusions, this results in him getting stinked, and he learns his lesson. | |

Circus Episode | |
Wonder Pets! / int_a4f81481 | comment |
Circus Episode: A particularly odd one that was a borderline Bizarro Episode. The three pets are part time heroes and in all other episodes everyone is a normal animal implied to speak Animal Talk. The circus is different. The ringmaster was a penguin, not a human, and the audience were all wild animals wearing clothing. It showed animals were riding a normal sized train in front of a school and no humans caring. You may think that this indicates that all the "humans" in the show (who are never actually seen) are actually animals that treat smaller animals as pets but it was explicitly said in early episodes that the humans were humans. The episode was full of Furry Confusion in a series that otherwise avoided it. | |

Adults Are Useless: While averted on a few occasions, most of the time the parents aren't attempting to save their children or aren't even worried about their children. Until a few moments after the Wonder Pets save their baby, where they thank the Wonder Pets and (if they had been worried) mention how worried they were. | |

Face Palm: Ming-Ming slaps her face with a wing in exasperation during "Help the Easter Bunny" after Linny asks what the song and dance routine he just made the group do had to with hiding eggs and he replies with "What eggs?" This episode being late in the show's run and her being the Little Miss Snarker of the group, it's probably not the first time she did it. In fact, in "Save the Honey Bears" if you pay attention, she's constantly facepalming. | |
