I don't think it counts as a Four-Temperament Ensemble if 1. the example doesn't utilize all four temperaments, 2. the group consists of more than four people, and 3. any of the characters have more than one temperament applied to them.

Our heroes (no pun intended) are four kids, Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, and Kip, plus Fran the talking squirrel. The show's premise was that OncePerEpisode, the kids found themselves in some kind of troublesome situation that would be fixed by a "hero" working in a specific occupation (such as a doctor, a plumber, etc.).

''Higglytown Heroes'' is a Playhouse Disney cartoon set in Higglytown (of course), a town populated by people who resemble nesting dolls.

Our heroes (no pun intended) are four kids, Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, and Kip, plus Fran the talking squirrel. The show's premise was that OncePerEpisode, the kids found themselves in some kind of troublesome situation that would be fixed by a "hero" working in a specific occupation (such as a doctor, a plumber, etc.).

----
!!This show contains these tropes:
* AerithAndBob: Characters named Wayne, Kip, and Fran are alongside characters named Twinkle and Eubie.
* AnimalGenderBender: Mellisa the Magnificent Moose from the episode "Overnight Moose" has antlers. In real life, only bull moose have antlers.
* BirthdayEpisode: "Cry Baby Pookie", where the kids prepare a birthday party for Kip's baby sister Pookie, but have to figure out why she's crying after preparing the party.
* CatchPhrase: Twinkle will react to Fran pointing out the problems in her big ideas with "Aw, pickles!"
* ExpositoryThemeTune: "Here in Higglytown" by Music/TheyMightBeGiants.
* MatryoshkaObject: All of the characters are modeled after nesting dolls.
* OncePerEpisode:
** Twinkle will have a big idea about how to solve whatever problem, with the [[ArtShift art style shifting]] from CGI to 2D animation resembling doodles in a notebook for the duration that she is presenting the idea. Her ideas are always unrealistic, and Fran will point out a problem with the idea after Twinkle is done explaining the idea, causing the latter to say "Aw, pickles!" in response.
** Near the end of the episode, the kids will sing a song saying that they'll need someone special to solve the problem. Cue a person of a specific occupation appearing and acting accordingly, solving the problem for the kids.
* TheRealHeroes: Pretty much the premise of the show. There are no superheroes in this show, but "normal" heroes who are just people working in a certain job are central to the plot.
* TalkingAnimal: Fran the squirrel.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kip and his parents have blue hair.
