Tickle-U was a short-lived preschool block that aired on Cartoon Network from 2005 to 2006. The block was composed of seven cartoons from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Three of the British cartoons that aired on the block were redubbed for American audiences, and all those dubs are considered lost.

The series was hosted by two characters named Pipoca (voiced by Ariel Winter) and Henderson (voiced by Tom Kenny).

Program information

  • Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs (Canada; now owned by 9 Story Entertainment)
  • Gordon the Garden Gnome (UK; produced by Collingwood O'Hare)
  • Little Robots (UK; produced by BBC)
  • Peppa Pig (UK; produced by Nick Jr. and Entertainment One)
  • Firehouse Tales (USA; produced by Warner Bros.)
  • Yoko Jakamoko Toto (UK; produced by Collingwood O'Hare)
  • Gerald McBoing-Boing (Canada; produced by Cookie Jar [now DHX Media], Teletoon, and Classic Media [now DreamWorks Classics])

Findings

  • Gordon, Peppa and Little Robots were redubbed for American audiences. Of these three cartoons, Peppa is the only one that is still airing on American television, albeit on Nick Jr. with the original British dub. CN presumably has the American dubs of the three British cartoons in its vault somewhere.
  • Steve Patrick, the director of the Pipoca and Henderson segments, uploaded a sampler of his work onto YouTube.
  • Yoko had very little dialogue, and it was not redubbed for American audiences.
  • Warner Home Video released a five-episode DVD of Harry in 2006. The first season can be streamed on Netflix. The second season of Harry only aired in Canada.
  • Firehouse Tales is directly owned by Warner Bros., the parent company of Cartoon Network.
  • The later seasons of Peppa were never dubbed for American audiences, because Cartoon Network lost the license to the series.
  • SLN! Media Group uploaded several bumpers of Pipoca and Henderson. (Note that Baby Looney Tunes and Big Bag were never broadcast in the block.)

Notes

  • The original British airing of Little Robots had the theme song sung by a man. In the American broadcast, the singer was a young woman with a higher voice.
  • In the American dub of Peppa Pig, Peppa has a more mature voice, and Mummy Pig is called "Mommy Pig".
  • Each show in Tickle-U had its own 15-minute segment. Harry was first at 9:00, Yoko was next at 9:15, and the final show in the block was Gordon at 10:45. Harry had another timeslot in the block.
  • The American version of Gordon's theme song was somewhat deeper than the British version.
