[edit] Origin
According to Bob Boyle, the series began as a story created by his niece, Viviana Ogawa, that Boyle turned into a rough comic book-style storybook called The Tail of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted.[2] During the series' development process, the characters were renamed Widget, Wubbzy and Walden. Eventually, the title character was named Wubbzy.[1]
Boyle submitted his original concept as a book to Bolder Media. After more than 600 children's book concepts were reviewed, Boyle's submission was selected for development into an animated series for preschoolers. Production for the first season began in January 2005. However, it ended on Nick's Play Date block in 2009, but it was moved to the Nick Jr. network. The series remains a part of NickJR's preschool goals, teaching preschoolers to share and care by supporting social and emotional development.
A translated version of the series has been a popular addition to the "Cúla 4" children's programming lineup on the Irish language television channel, TG4 since January 2011.
In the UK, the show was dubbed with British voice actors, replacing the original American soundtrack.
