Floogals is an exciting British television series that combines real-life scenes with amazing computer animation. It was created for younger children but is fun for anyone who loves adventure and discovery! The show was produced by Nevision Studios, Jellyfish Pictures, and Zodiak Kids. The American children's channel Sprout (now Universal Kids) also helped make the series.
The idea for Floogals came from Dan Good. The show was developed by Ceri Barnes, Lee Walters, Nigel Pickard, and Rick Gitelson. The main characters are three tiny aliens named Fleeker, Flo, and Boomer. They are always curious, asking questions and exploring new things. The animation for the series was made in London during 2014 and 2015 by Jellyfish Pictures. The show first aired in the United States as a 'Sprout original series'. It later had two more seasons. The third season was the final one, and production ended in September 2019. The very last episode aired on March 22, 2020.

Discovering Earth: The Floogals' Mission
The story of Floogals follows three small aliens, each only about four inches tall. They are called Floogals, and they traveled to Earth to learn all about us and our world. When they first arrived, a human boy thought their spaceship was a toy. He hung it from his bedroom ceiling! But the Floogals didn't let that stop them from their important mission.
The show is special because it mixes real-life scenes with computer-generated (CGI) characters. You see real houses and people, but the Floogals themselves are animated.
In every episode, the Floogals find a new object in the human house. They work together to figure out what it is and how it works. After they finish their investigation, they send a report back to their home planet. If their report is good, they each get a special sticker. This sticker shows the object they just learned about!
Meet the Characters
The Floogals Team
The main Floogals are three tiny aliens who wear cool space suits and helmets. They don't have noses like us, but they have four trumpet-shaped "horns" on their heads. These horns help them hear and smell!
- Fleeker: He is the Captain of the mission. Fleeker has lavender skin, blue horns, and wears a red-orange uniform. His uniform and helmet can even glow in the dark! He is voiced by Rasmus Hardiker.
- Flo: She is the First Officer and the only female Floogal in the main team. Flo has pink skin, red horns that point upwards, and a yellow uniform. She is voiced by Jules de Jongh (US version) and Angela Griffin (UK version).
- Boomer: He is the Junior Floogal. Boomer is smaller than Fleeker and has lavender skin with purple horns. He wears a green uniform. Boomer is voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (US version) and Dan Wright (UK version).
- Fee: Fee is a Roaming Reporter who joined the show in Season 2. She wears a light blue suit and has a small robot friend named Doodle. Fee's horns look like Flo's. She is voiced by Natalie Palamides.
