Pelswick is an animated television series produced by Nelvana for CBC Television in Canada and the Nickelodeon cable channel in the United States. The series, about a teenage boy who uses a wheelchair, emphasized how he lived a normal life and was based on the books created by John Callahan. Currently, it is no longer airing. FUNimation, a DVD distributor for the United States, considered releasing Pelswick on DVD in 2004, but plans fell through due to a low fan base. It aired on Nick on CBS on September 7, 2002, then ended in November the same year.

Characters

  • Pelswick Eggert (voiced by Robert Tinkler) - A 13 year old with a big nose who is in a wheelchair and has a guardian angel. He dislikes people regarding him differently because of his disability.
  • Ace Nakamura (voiced by Phil Guerrero) - Pelswick's friend. Ace is technologically smarter than any of his friends, often leading him to be the thinker of the situation.
  • Goon Gunderson (voiced by Peter Oldring) - Pelswick's friend. Huge and notably slow-witted in his actions and thoughts, Goon is generally good-hearted.
  • Julie Smockford (voiced by Julie Lemieux) - The girl on whom Pelswick has a crush.
  • Sandra Scottle (voiced by Kim Kuhteubl) - Julie's best friend and often rival.
  • Mr. Jimmy (voiced by David Arquette) - Pelswick's guardian angel who often gives him advice that confuses him until the last moment, no matter what it is.
  • Kate (voiced by Tracey Moore) - Pelswick's eight-year old sister who tries to act beyond her age.
  • Bobby - Pelswick's and Kate's baby brother.
  • Quentin (voiced by Tony Rosato) - Pelswick's, Kate's, and Bobby's dad.
  • Mirlyon - Pelswick's, Kate's, and Bobby's mom who is mentioned in the series but does not appear (thought to be dead).
  • Gram-Gram (Priscilla) (voiced by Ellen Ray Hennessy) - Pelswick's, Kate's, and Bobby's grandmother. She often does "extreme" acts beyond that of a grandmother.
  • Boyd Scolarzo (voiced by Chuck Campbell) - The bully of Pelswick's school who likes bullying Pelswick.
  • Agnes - Boyd's adventurous grandmother, and a friend of Priscilla's. Priscilla and Agnes often have their own subplots in later episodes.
