Toonimals!

"Toonimals!" was a 2000 animated television series produced by BRB International which taught about a different animal (in the style of a wacky comedy) per episode. Occasionally, the episode became too wacky, even for the characters, and animals dressed as cameramen or other members of the production crew would be called upon to restore order, sometimes without success.

The show's "actual" premise, as stated in the intro sequence, is that animals are tired of humans having all the fun in front of the cameras while they stay in the background during their documentaries, so they decided to make a show of their own.

Each episode included a small (so called) "interactive question" which was presented at some random point in the episode. The question would be followed by three options, usually three numbers. Upon naming each option, an ant would come on screen holding up with its frontmost legs a sign with a lowercase A, B, or C. During the credits, the question would be re-stated (with the ants coming out again, this time forming an ant pyramid) and the answer revealed. At this point, the pyramid would collapse and the ants would basically fall off screen.

All the animals were drawn anthropomorphisized for the episode, but this usually was only limited to drawing them so that they could walk upright, since nearly none of the distinguishing zoological characteristics of the animal were lost in the drawing.

Recurring characters

* Oolie, an orange owl and the presenter for the show. He wears a blue overall and an exaggerated top hat that compensates exactly for his short stature (in comparison to the rest of the characters). However, the hat is so big it completely covers his eyes to the point that in one episode where they read fan mail, one letter asked what color were his eyes, to which he quickly changed the subject. His name comes from the fact that rather than hooting always says "Oolie-oolie-oo!" quickly (taking him about a second to say it) and ascendingly (skiping two notes upwards on the musical scale with every dash). The sound "oolie" itself is probably a play on the word "ulular", Spanish for "hooting".
* Hunkha and Punkha, the only humans appearing in the episodes (not counting those in the background during the intro sequence). One of them is tall and fat with messy black hair while the other is short and skinny with curly red hair. The latter cross-dresses to fill in as a girl whenever necessary. They are notable for their unshaven faces, reminiscent of "The Flintstones", and their gross habits. They start all their sentences with "hunkha-punkha", implying they have caveman-like intelligence.
* The good-manered pig (el cerdo educado) often interrupts anything gross or customs only done by animals to tell children not to do that at home. In early episodes he has his own segment featuring the manner of the day which he gives in front of a theatre curtain.
* Tee hee hee a crazy hyena who always refers to himself in third person and melodramatically always says whatever action he's about to perform. Can disguise himself as another animal well, but when he talks he always gives himself away. Sometimes, he would also come on dressed as a member of the production crew.

There was also
* A stork that can never be made to stop talking
* A bear always wearing a chef's hat, an apron, and carrying a ladle. Sometimes, he would also come on dressed as a member of the production crew.
* A gorilla dressed in sports gear
* A female kangaroo
