Higglytown Heroes is an American CGI-animated children's television series produced by Wild Brain that aired on the Playhouse Disney block on Disney Channel in the United States. The show's characters are shaped like Russian nesting dolls. In the show, children Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, Kip and their best friend, Fran the squirrel, learn about all of the important jobs that people do in Higglytown.[2] 65 episodes were produced.[3]

The theme song of the show, Here in Higglytown, is performed by They Might Be Giants, which was also released on their second children's album Here Come the ABCs. After its series finale originally aired on January 7, 2008, reruns aired on Playhouse Disney until March 29, 2009. Disney Junior (the channel) then aired it in reruns from March 23, 2012 until May 2014. The Higglytown Heroes TV series was made using Alias Maya which was used to design models and textures for the Higglytown Heroes Characters, and Photoshop which was used to create the 2D backgrounds and 2D props.[4] The lyrics to the first "Hero" song were written by Kent Redeker, one of the show's executive producers. The song was composed and produced by Mark Harrison, the show's senior songwriter.

Hero Song

Each episode contains two songs. An initial "dilemma" song which sets up the "problem" which needs to be solved followed by the "I'm a Higgly Town Hero" song which introduces the hero who solves the problem, some of the heroes would later appear in later episodes.

While every hero song has the same basic melody as the initial hero song written by Harrison, he performed and produced each song with different lyrics and instrumentation to fit the episode's specific hero.

Brad Mossman, the other principal songwriter, composed lyrics and music for a number of dilemma songs in many episodes as well.

This show was re-dubbed in the UK sometime between 2005 and 2010, which aired in the UK on Playhouse Disney on April 11, 2005. In the UK dub, Fran is voiced by veteran actress Sue Johnston, Eubie is voiced by Jonathan Bee and Joe Cooper, Wayne is voiced by Africa Nile, Twinkle is voiced by Amira McCarthy, and Kip was voiced by Matthew Thomas Davies, this also included most of the character cast in the show who ware voiced by the majority of the actors in the UK. Pizza Guy is called Pizza Man instead, causing minor lip-sync issues, most of which would probably not be noticed by the show's target audience.

With the help of an underwater microphone, she can tell the whale where to swim. When they finally reach the open sea, the whale mother is very happy to see her child healthy again.

When tidying up, Fripp cleans the attic, looks for his bowling ball and finds a box of colored chalk. When he tells the kids that he used it to paint pictures on the sidewalk, Kip, Eubie, Twinkle and Wayne start to paint pictures enthusiastically. But when the chalks are used up, only a piece is left.

There's a heat wave in Higglytown two days before Christmas. But then, Pizza Guy invites the kids and their parents to his hut in the mountains. There's a lot of snow there. Once there, the kids decorate the Christmas tree and hang fairy lights. But when they want to hang up their Christmas stockings for Santa, they discover that there's no fireplace in Pizza Guy's hut. Pizza Guy is desperate. He had completely forgotten that! But then, Stan the bricklayer Hero comes to their aid and builds a chimney through which Santa Claus can come at night! But while going to bed before Christmas morning everyone accidentally forgot about Fran.

The rock band 'The Supertasters' want to give a concert in Higglytown, but unfortunately their drummer, Marty, is sick. Since Fran is a great bongo drummer, The Supertasters invite her to play the concert with them, so that they don't have to cancel it but the problem is the kids and Fripp are late to a concert.

Miss Fern explains to the kids in kindergarten how inventions came around. People have always needed something urgently and that's why they've become inventive. Of course, the Higgly kids all want to invent something immediately, but Wayne is unhappy. No matter what he invents, it's already been invented. By chance, he invents a new toast creation at lunch. The next day he takes toast with banana on raisins for all the kids at kindergarten. It tastes so good, that they eat all toasts! But oh dear, Wayne doesn't have lunch now! His friends offer to share their break with him, but nobody has a toast with them. What are they supposed to do now? How good that the lunch lady comes to the rescue!

Kip's sisters, Wiki and Tini, who go to school for older children, take part in a spelling bee. Ms. Fern decides to go with the kids to watch. But then the Higgly kids get lost in the big school.
