History WesternAnimation / Animalia

* CoolGate: The portal in the library that Alex and Zoe use to go back and forth Animalia and their hometown.

The story involves two kids, Alex and Zoe, who happen to find a portal while visiting their town's library. This leads them to an alternate world named Animalia, populated with {{Talking Animal}}s who are able to live in peace and harmony thanks to an artifact called [[CosmicKeystone the Core]]. However, the Core happens to suffer some kind of illness, resulting in it losing pieces regularly. Each piece has a specific function in Animalia's inhabitant's abilities to talk and act like humans, and losing a piece will inevitably provoke a weird side effect on everyone until the piece is put back in place. Being humans, Alex and Zoe are immune to those effects, resulting in them being in charge of collecting the pieces each time one is lost. They are assisted in this mission by G'bubu, a green gorilla, and Iggy, an Iguana.

The series mostly consists of a [[VillainOfTheWeek Piece of the week]] scheme, each episode usually involving a missing piece of the Core and Alex and Zoe trying to find it. Season 2, however, goes for a slight CerebusSyndrome by introducing a new villain, the Creeper. Unlike all characters portrayed before, the Creeper was an actually evil character, and caused the series to get a bit darker.

* AdaptationExpansion: It was originally a picture book, after all. In fact, the original picture book was really just an alphabet book, albeit a very lavishly-illustrated one. On the other hand, the telvision series has a rather complex plot and wealth of detailed characters.
