A picture of Bing and Bong on their adventure for that episode is then laid down by the, and they go to sleep until the next episode.Īnyway, the American version of TINY PLANETS on Noggin premiered on April 1, 2002. After Bing and Bong get back to the Crystal Cave, they prepare for bed, and the sofa leans back more to become a bed. This happens two more times, and afterward, the gate finally goes up and Bing and Bong return home. In a DVD video of the show called “Bing and Bong’s Big Adventures”, however, the first time the sofa is going back to the Home Planet, a robot traffic gate signal stops them, and then a robot comes and tells Bing and Bong that they have more work to do. Bing then cuts the rope in front of them with a pair of scissors and the fantastic machine pulls the sofa back to the Home Planet. They are found mostly on the Tiny Planet of Technology.Īfter Bing and Bong have completed their adventure, the home alarm rings on Bing’s watch and then Bing and Bong get back onto their sofa. They often appear in larger groups that the Flockers.Īlso in the Tiny Planet universe are these robots that are shaped like spheres and either get around by wheels or helicopter rotors. Like the Flockers, a different Local species lives on each Tiny Planet. The only Locals who have mouths are the ones who live on the Tiny Planet of Technology. Flockers can have one or two heads, one or two legs, and only a few of them have arms.Īlso on each Tiny Planet live these small beings called Locals. A different species of Flocker lives on each Tiny Planet. More often than not, Bing and Bong are helping the Flockers around. On each of the Tiny Planets live these aliens called Flockers. There’s even an app on iTunes called TINY PLANETS BUBBLE STARS. A Spanish TINY PLANETS website exists as well. You can even create your own Bong and play around with it. On the website, you can watch the TINY PLANETS episodes.
In May of 2001, a TINY PLANETS website was launched.
They made a total of 65 five-minute long segments, with the final one airing in December of 2002. The actual series, however, would not premiere until June of 2001, on CITV in England. In the pilot segment, Bong looks quite different from his current version. Speaking of earlier versions, TINY PLANETS originally started as a segment called “Tiny Planet of Colours”, in 1999. They were present in an earlier version of the TINY PLANETS world, along with Halley herself, but do not appear in the current version. Halley has a twin sister named Hale-Bop and two cousins named Eureka Encke and Ikeya-Seki. Halley was just said to be voiced by the singer of the theme song, but the TINY PLANETS website at one point said that Halley herself signs it. Halley flies around with Bing and Bong and narrates their adventures. Then, a hand-shaped catapult throws the sofa into the air, and then they’re off!īing and Bong are joined by this small, wide-eyed alien named Halley, who is named after the comet. There, a long rope gets attached onto the back of Bing and Bong’s sofa. Why this sofa is so unusual? Bing then pulls a lever in the sofa’s controls, and then the sofa gets pushed up to their “fantastic machine”. The larger one is Bing, and the smaller one is Bong.Įvery day, Bing and Bong get ready to go to these six “tiny” planets:Īfter they’re ready, they get onto their unusual white sofa, and fasten their seat belts. Here, in the Crystal Cave, live two white, furry aliens names Bing and Bong. In this show, there is this place called the Home Planet…
I must say that this is one of the most unusual children’s shows ever. The show is produced by Sesame Workshop and Pepper’s Ghost Productions. One of them was this 3D-animated show called TINY PLANETS (some people call it Bing and Bong). I admired several shows on Noggin (now Nick Jr.) when I was little.
