Dirtgirlworld is a fun animated TV series made for children. It was created in Australia by Cate McQuillen and Hewey Eustace from Mememe Productions. The show's unique look was designed by Jean Camden, James Hackett, and Cate McQuillen.

The animation was done by Hackett Films in Australia and Spin Productions in Canada. Mememe Productions (Australia) and Decode Entertainment (Canada) worked together to produce the series. Major TV channels like CBeebies (UK), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) asked for the show to be made.

A total of 52 episodes, each lasting eleven minutes, were ordered. The show first aired on CBC in Canada on October 5, 2009. It then appeared on CBeebies in the UK on November 2, 2009. Australian viewers could watch it on ABC starting December 4, 2009. In the United States, it premiered on the Sprout channel on April 22, 2010. Today, you can still catch Dirtgirlworld on ABC Kids Australia and CBeebies Australia almost every day.

The series uses a special mix of animation styles. It combines 3D CGI animation with photomontage (which is like making pictures from many different photos) and even some live-action scenes.

Dirtgirlworld won an important award in 2013. It received the Interactive Production of the Year Award at the Screen Producers Australia Awards. This award recognized how well the show used interactive elements.
