About the Show

Each episode of Tommy Zoom starts and ends with a real-life scene. In these parts, Daniel, Tommy's dog, tells us a story. He explains a problem that Tommy is facing. Daniel then asks, "What should Tommy do? What would Tommy Zoom do?"

After this, the show switches to animation! We see Tommy Zoom, who is a superhero, stopping the bad guy, Polluto. Polluto always tries to cause trouble, and his plans are usually linked to the problem the real Tommy has. Tommy Zoom always saves the day "in a zoom!"

Once the animated adventure is over, we go back to the real-life scene. We then see Tommy making the right choices and solving his problem. It teaches kids how to deal with everyday challenges.
