The second season premiered on October 2, 2012, on Cartoon Network featuring a new title theme, recasting all the voices and with new edited CGI animation. One of the new voice actors was Matthew Geczy who starred in Code Lyoko, another French production. Jimmy's voice is similar to the film version. The characters whose voices dramatically changed were Casper, Thatch, Stinky, Stretch, Wolfie and Alder, all voiced by Geczy, given a voice similar to his character, Odd Della Robbia from Code Lyoko. Geczy also voices numerous other characters. Many other actors from said show also worked on it such as Mirabelle Kirkland who voiced Yumi Ishiyama in Code Lyoko and plays Mantha and Jimmy in the second season. Some background characters were given larger roles and speaking roles and the personalities of some characters have changed, mostly with Thatch having a tender side of playing with rubber ducks.
