"The Save-Ums" is a Canadian animated television series produced by DHX Media. It is broadcast by CBC Television in Canada, Discovery Kids and TLC in the United States, and Five in the United Kingdom.

Synopsis

The Save-Ums are a group of six anthropomorphic characters of various designs, who help various creatures when they run into difficulty.

A typical episode begins with a call on the "adventure screen" (essentially a videophone) from an inhabitant of the world in which the Save-Ums live. The caller describes the difficulty that needs to be solved, and then selected Save-Ums travel to the scene of the problem.

The Save-Ums then assist in solving the problem. Each episode ends with the problem being solved and the Save-Ums returning to their headquarters ("Save-Um Central").
