GoGoRiki is the first English adaptation of the hit Russian animated series Smeshariki. The series focuses on nine animal creatures who live on an island isolated from the rest of the world. There are no villains in the series, as conflicts arise from the many whimsical situations the characters face. Ninety-two episodes were dubbed into English, out of 208 that were produced in Russia.

History

GoGoRiki was one of the last few English dubs that 4Kids Entertainment did before filing for bankruptcy in 2012. When the show was discontinued on the "CW4K!ds" block after its second season in 2009, 4Kids never issued any DVDs of the show despite the cult following the show had during its run.

During 4Kids's downward financial spiral since the dub's cancellation, GoGoRiki's rights reverted back to the Russian production company, the Riki Group, who decided to do a new English dub (now with a new name Kikoriki, which is being used to this very day) which launched on YouTube on March 31st, 2010.

Recently, the Riki Group, through a new distributor, FUN Union, has decided to dub the new CG-animated series of Kikoriki in English. Two spin-offs, PinCode and Baby Riki, have also been dubbed into English, but only one episode of the new Kikoriki series, "The Rise of Machine" and one of PinCode "Itch for Speed," have been released to the public.

It is currently unknown if the Riki Group or FUN Union will release the 4Kids dub, or if they even have the episodes.

Additional Details

A user, Terry the Cat, recently had a conversation with Mike Pollock, the voice of Bigoriki in the dub. Pollock confirmed that the new CG series is being dubbed. He even reprises his role as Bigoriki, now called Carlin, in the new Kikoriki dub. He also confirmed that he voices Boboriki, now called Barry, and that Wayne Grayson reprises his role as Wolliriki, now called Wally. He also confirmed that two feature-length films had also been dubbed into English, with a third on the way. Pollock, however, does not know where the episodes of the 4Kids dub are.
