Premise
Pikwik Pack follows four adorable animals: Suki the hedgehog, Axel the raccoon, Tibor the hippo, and Hazel the cat as they deliver magical packages filled with love to the kind citizens of Pikwik.
Every day, a new surprise package arrives! The package comes with a tag containing information indicated by three colored diamonds: red (recipient), yellow (location), and green (time by which the package must be delivered, or how it should be handled). When the recipient receives the package, he/she can open it by pulling the tag.
The team might face rough rapids, stormy skies, or a foggy forest, but when they work together, they always deliver!
Characters
Main
Suki
Suki (voiced by Emma Ho) is a sea green hedgehog who is the leader of the Pikwik Pack. She’s responsible, thoughtful, and always supports her team! Suki checks the map at the Pikwik Post to find the best route for delivering the package. Suki loves delivering packages in her boat! She’s a great captain and an even better friend. You can always count on Suki to get the job done! And make every delivery in Pikwik super special!
Axel
Axel (voiced by Daniel Pathan) is one cool blue raccoon! He’s funny, fearless, and likes going fast! Axel looooves driving his truck! Even if it takes him off road. But no matter what, Axel always helps his team deliver the package. And he’s never afraid to admit if he’s made a mistake. Rain or shine, Axel will deliver that package on time!
Hazel
Hazel (voiced by Molly Lewis) is an orange cat that is silly, adventurous, and loves to take to the skies! The only thing that Hazel loves more than tacos is delivering packages in her super cool helicopter! Along the way, Hazel loves to have fun, dance, and laugh with her friends. Even though Hazel can sometimes get distracted, she will do whatever it takes to deliver the package and knows she can count on her friends for help!
Tibor
Tibor (voiced by Jacob Soley) is a purple hippo that is strong, reliable and loves to keep things on track. That’s why Tibor drives a train! Tibor likes to go slow and steady, but not every delivery goes to plan. When a delivery goes off track, Tibor is always there to help his friends!
