About Doodlez
Doodlez is all about a little boy named Dood. He is a simple drawing, like a doodle! Dood often finds himself in tricky or funny situations. A special hand, called Hand, helps him. Hand uses a pencil to draw things right onto the screen. Sometimes, Hand draws helpful items for Dood. For example, Hand might draw a booster to help Dood win a skating race.
Other times, Hand draws things that make Dood's situation worse. Dood might face girl troubles or even become a werewolf. He could get stuck in a picture frame or travel inside a giant beast. Each episode brings a new, silly challenge for Dood.
Dood is usually a bit annoyed by the end of each cartoon. This is probably because the short episodes finish so quickly. The show has no spoken words. Characters sometimes make gibberish sounds. Dood also has a funny chipmunk laugh. Every cartoon ends with the word "fin" appearing on screen. "Fin" is a French word that means "the end."
