It's Punky Brewster is an animated spin off the live action television show Punky Brewster. The show was animated by Ruby-Spears Productions [cite web |url=http://imdb.com/title/tt0088543/companycredits |title="It's Punky Brewster" (1985) - Company credits |accessdate=2007-12-08 |format= |work= ]

This series included the addition of one new animal character known as Glomer (Frank Welker); a creature known as a "leprechaun gopher" that came from a world at the end of the rainbow. Glomer had various magical powers and one of them was the ability to transport Punky and her friends, Margaux, Cherie, and Allen, and at times her beloved dog, Brandon, to any part of the Earth instantly. Some episodes included Glomer having to correct his own mistakes when he plays around with magic and transforms Henry into a statue of Julius Caesar, or where Punky figures she can ask Santa Claus for anything. (Santa is on vacation at the time, and wearing an aloha shirt, and also knows Glomer.) Through an accident, Punky accidentally makes Christmas come early (in July). Punky then decides not to ask Santa for anything, realizing how hard he works to give gifts to kids the world over. The show is available on DVD as part of the Punky Brewster DVD releases. Each season also contains a certain number of episodes from the animated series as a bonus feature.
