Chuggington
Chuggington, also known as Chuggington: Tales from the Rails in series 6, is a British animated television series aimed at pre-school children, produced by Ludorum plc and Herschend Entertainment Studios. It is broadcast on the BBC's CBeebies channel, Disney Jr., and other channels internationally. Originally composed of six series, running from 2008 to 2021.
In the fictional city of Chuggington are young novice anthropomorphic railway locomotives, called "Trainees", Koko, Wilson, and Brewster. The trainees and sometimes the more experienced locomotives learn the value of loyal friendship, telling the truth, listening carefully, persisting under adversity, completing tasks, resolving conflict without violence and similar values. The locomotives, called "Chuggers", are intelligent, empathetic, independent and somewhat self-directed. They have mobile facial and body features (i.e. other than Olwin, all chuggers have eyebrows that resemble windscreen wipers). Chuggers have no drivers, yet some engines have crew doors that can be opened. Chuggers regularly interact with humans such as passengers and maintenance staff. Some chuggers are modelled after well-known locomotives from various countries.
The city of Chuggington has a central area of large modern buildings. Side-by-side railway tunnels, coloured red, blue, yellow and green run out of the main depot and go beyond the city, leading to the outside world. The four rail lines lead to four different places; the blue line is to a large quarry with a system of mine tunnels, a green line which runs through the countryside, a red line which runs to a harbour and port, and the yellow line which runs through the city centre and to the neighboring town of Tootington.
Wilson, Brewster, and Koko are the main characters in Chuggington.
The creative core behind Chuggington is Sarah Ball, a producer and director who worked on Bob the Builder, and Don Toht, who designed the characters and sets.
The animation is made with Autodesk Maya software.
As well as the regular ten-minute episodes, there are four-minute shows, Chuggington: Badge Quest, focusing on the trainees' efforts to earn reward badges for their "Chugger" training.
Three Chuggington specials were commissioned for release on DVD from 2013 onwards.
