Pickle and Peanut is an American animated television series created by Noah Z. Jones and developed by Joel Trussell. It aired on Disney XD from September 7, 2015, to January 20, 2018.[1][2] It is about two friends, Pickle and Peanut, an anthropomorphic pickle and peanut whose misadventures form the content of the show.[3] The show utilizes a wide variety of different art styles and animation techniques. This includes but is not limited to stylized traditional animation, CGI, rotoscoping, stop motion, puppetry, stock imagery, special effects, visual effects, and live action.

On July 23, 2016, the series was renewed for a second season, which began a year later on October 23, 2017.[4] The second season finished airing with a set of four episodes on January 20, 2018; Trussell confirmed through Twitter that the episodes would be the series' last.[citation needed]

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Pickle (voiced by Jon Heder) is a dimwitted and happy-go-lucky pickle. Often causing mischief, Pickle is the best friend of Peanut. Despite his adulthood, Pickle can be shy and sometimes a nerd, and cowardly. Like real pickles, Pickle is taller than Peanut. Pickle wears a belt that covers his belly button (so that nobody can see it, as revealed in "Swim Lessons"). Pickle works at the Mjärt Mart along with Peanut, doing cool stuff whenever they can.
  • Peanut (voiced by Johnny Pemberton) – Pickle's best friend, a peanut who wants to be cool and popular. Peanut is a freewheeling, peanut-resembling humanoid. Besides the goal of popularity, he also tries to attract ladies. Peanut drives a van and wears a headband. Peanut is cooler and a bit smarter than Pickle. Peanut, like Pickle, works at the Mjärt Mart, doing cart stunts whenever they can.
