*DoingItForTheArt: On the one hand, the series is obviously merchandise-driven. On the ''other'', doing the series in stop-motion was a bold (and probably costly) move.

iOS Games are a Useful Notes page, not a trope


* IOSGames: Several. And given that Fisher-Price has decided to enter the [=iDevice=] accessory market with the launch of kid-friendly [=iPod=] and [=iPad=] accessories, this trope is only bound to grow stronger with the franchise.

Fisher-Price has announced a complete ContinuityReboot of the franchise on it's website, now helmed by Genevieve Goings of ''Choo Choo Soul'' fame and produced by Creator/DHXMedia, in cel-shaded CGI. Noticeably, this version retools Eddie, but retires the rest of the other characters, while introducing a new set of characters. This version also faces a slight genre shift as the episodes are now WebOriginal, only available from Fisher-Price's official video sources (i.e. their own website, and their Youtube channel).

Even the switch from the 2013 reboot webseries to the 2016 Sprout series saw changes in the character designs (most noticeably with Sofie) to the franchise.
