Ooh, Aah & You was a fun children's TV series with two friendly monkey puppets! Created by Canadian puppeteers Jason Hopley and Jamie Shannon, this show was all about short, educational adventures. It first appeared in July 2005 on Playhouse Disney in the United States.

Ooh and Aah, the two main monkey characters, became the official hosts of Playhouse Disney in 2007. They would introduce different shows, both long (22 minutes) and short (1-3 minutes). The series stopped airing on February 13, 2011, just before Disney Junior took over. The monkeys were then retired as mascots.
