Ooh, Aah & You is a short-form children's series created by the Canadian puppeteer duo Jason Hopley and Jamie Shannon, who also created Mr. Meaty. It was produced by Kick Start Productions. In the United States, the shorts premiered in July 2005 during the Playhouse Disney line up. Ooh and Aah are a pair of monkey puppets. On March 31, 2007, they became the official hosts of Playhouse Disney after clay left. They introduced the various long format (22 minute) and short format (1-3 minute) shows that aired on the network.

It last aired on February 13, 2011, the day before Disney Junior debuted, meaning that the short programs and mascots were dropped. After the daily sign-off was presented for the last time on that day, the mascots were retired. The segments and short programs of the show were briefly available on Disney Junior's official website as part of its "Fan Favorites" week on the week of July 18, 2011.
