Rocket Boy and Toro (Hangul: 로켓보이; RR: Lokes Boi) is a Korean-British cartoon series that originally aired on CBBC in 2008. The show was set in space and the main characters consisted of Rocket Boy, Chrystella, Vector, Grandpa Sat, and Toro, Rocket Boy's sheep assistant. In the UK, the show only aired for two years and has not aired since. However, reruns continue to this day of the series, dubbed into Arabic, on Basma channel in the Arab world.
The show is mainly about Rocket Boy and his friends delivering parcels to different galaxies and planets around space. During the course of the series they are always slowed down by his Archenemy Dr. Square the Sworn Enemy of the Galactic Parliament (an evil super computer with the brain the size of a planet), and his henchman, Trash (who always tends to fail his missions). Dr. Square is always trying to capture Rocket Boy so he can learn the secret of his speed, but no matter how hard he tries, Rocket Boy and his friends always seem to come out on top.
The show was created by Korean animation studio Imagestone, Manchester-based Cosgrove Hall Films, and London-based Village Prods.
