Iconicles is a British-American live-action, flash and CGI animated television series for pre-schoolers. The series is a British-American co-production between Create Media Ventures (as "Iconicles Limited") and phuuz entertainment, in association with Foothill Entertainment and Dinamo Productions.

Plot

The series tells of a guy named Nat (Gavin Stenhouse) who invents an amazing display, the Iconi-Screen, that allows him to communicate with animated animals in various settings, such as a farm, the arctic, a jungle, and a garden. The animals are called "Iconicles". In every episode, Nat has a problem and is helped to solve it by an Iconicle, who jumps out of the Iconi-Screen to enter the real world and interact with Nat. At some point in every episode, there is a game with questions and answers based on what happened with some of the Iconicles.

Characters

The most prominent Iconicles:

Rumple (voiced by Toby Williams): a purple grumpy rhino who has a big heart for other Iconicles. He lives in the Wild Wilderness.
Miss Moo (voiced by Helen Lederer): a green cow who has strict rules to keep everything tidy yet is very humble. She lives down on the farm.
Splish and Splash (voiced by Sam Lewis and Ellie Jayne Howick): two blue and orange twin polar bear cubs who are curious and always want to have a lot of fun. They live in the Water's Edge.
Skitter (voiced by Tim Dann): a red friendly squirrel who loves to collect acorns. He lives around the garden.

Development

The show's development began as early as September 2005, and was announced to be in production by March 2006. when Foothill and Create Media Ventures announced development deals with Phuuz Entertainment for the production of the series.

In April 2007, CBeebies announced they had greenlit the series with plans for it to broadcast within a Fall 2008 delivery window. BBC Worldwide were also once involved in the production of the series.

The series never got past this window, and more information about the show was announced by CBeebies on 25 November 2008, with the intention of the series being broadcast within the 2009 schedule. Once again, the series never aired during this window.

In March 2010, Beyond Distribution acquired distribution rights to the series.

In May 2011, production of the series was announced to be almost complete. The series would premiere on CBeebies on 8 August 2011.

Broadcast

On 23 February 2012, Discovery Kids, TVOntario and Discovery Familia acquired the Latin American, Canadian and Hispanic American broadcast rights to the series.
