Messy Goes to OKIDO is a fun animated TV show for kids. It started in 2015 and is based on characters from OKIDO magazine. The show follows an excited monster named Messy, voiced by Adam Buxton. He goes on adventures with his friends Zoe and Felix in the bright world of OKIDO. The first episodes aired on the BBC channel CBeebies.

Discovering Science with Messy

This TV show was created by a studio in London called Squint/Opera. They worked to turn the magazine idea into a 52-episode children's series. The show mixes real-life video with 3D animation of Messy and his friends.

Each episode of Messy Goes to OKIDO explores a different science topic. Messy always starts with a question, like "Why do some things float and others sink?" He then travels to OKIDO to find the answers. His friends Zoe and Felix help him. They also get help from a science team: Zim, Zam, and Zoom. Each of them has special skills that help solve the mysteries.

Meet the OKIDO Characters

Messy

Messy is a blue monster who is very curious and full of energy. He lives under a bed and loves to explore new things. Sometimes, his excitement gets him into trouble. He can't resist pushing buttons and loves eating socks, especially green ones! When Messy has a question, he goes to OKIDO to find answers with his friends.

Zoe
