The series debuted on Disney Channel in the United States on September 12, 2016.[8] The series will later premiere on YTV in Canada in December.[9] The series is animated using Toon Boom Animation, and recorded in Studio 306 Inc.

Premise

Main characters

  • Polly Pamplemousse (voiced by Jenna Warren) is the 8-year-old[3] owner of the Zhu Zhu pets.
  • Pipsqueak (voiced by Tajja Isen) is Polly's first Zhu Zhu pet. As the unofficial leader of the Zhu Zhus, she loves adventure. Her birthmark is a shooting star.[10]
  • Mr. Squiggles (voiced by Richard Binsley) is the second Zhu Zhu pet. He is smart and resourceful, depending on science for situations. His birthmark is a spiral.
  • Num Nums (voiced by Stephany Seki) is the third Zhu Zhu pet. She is a careful thinker, very cautious, and unlike her right hand man Pipsqueak, she doesn't like daring things. Her birthmark is a heart.
  • Chunk (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is the fourth Zhu Zhu pet. He is strong, stylish, and loves to eat food. His birthmark is a sun.
