6->''"After Imagi, I was contacted by Konnie Kwak, the owner of Toonzone Studios (no relation). She brought me on, and gave me this Korean kid show "Animation/YoohooAndFriends" which she had acquired the rights to. She wanted me to make this really young Korean language kid show into something that she could sell to western TV. The style wasn't my style at all, and at first I was worried about what I could do with it. But then it occurred to me that if I approached it similarly to Woody Allen's "Film/WhatsUpTigerLily," where a foreign language film is redubbed in english with an entirely different story, it could be funny. I proposed taking the existing 11 minute Korean shorts, and rewriting the dialogue, and creating 4 minutes of new animation per episode (cutting out 4 minutes of old footage). I created a brand new story arc, back story, etc..."''

9[[Main/{{Catchphrase}} YEAH, BOY!]] It's time to [[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere describe]] ''[[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere [=YooHoo=] & Friends]]'' [[JustForFun/DescribeTopicHere here]]!
10
11OnceUponATime, there was [[Animation/YooHooAndFriends an animated series]] based on a line of plush toys [[Toys/YoohooAndFriends of the same name]] depicting many endangered animals, to help raise awareness of their situation. It centered around a group of five friends; [=YooHoo=], Roodee, Chewoo, Pammee and Lemmee, attempting to fix the environment to continue growing their Trees of Life.
12
13And then Creator/DavidFeiss, the guy behind ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' and ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'', got his hands on it.
14
15The result was several flavors of ''weird''.
16
17In the 2012 GagDub adaptation headed by Feiss, entirely new scenes now show how [=YooHoo=] and co. start out life as the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive executives of the company Nasty Corp]], whose money grubbing schemes leave natural wonder after natural wonder devastated in their wake. As a result, Father Time, voiced by rapper Flavor Flav ([[BluntYes yes]], [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer really]]) is tasked by his wife Mother Nature to do something about it. Father Time uses his magic to transform the executives into adorable little animals, and sends them on a quest to fix all their misdeeds, in return for gemstones. Once they get enough gemstones, they will be granted one wish; which they plan to use to become human again.
18
19Each episode is also started by a narration from Father Time, as he finds certain problems in the past and tries (and usually fails) to fix them. Adding to the weird is the fact that Father Time's scenes are animated in the same style as David Feiss' previous work, while [=YooHoo=] and co. are animated in UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash.
20
21''[=YooHoo=] & Friends'' had its world debut on Creator/CartoonNetwork in Latin America in January 2012 (and later [[ChannelHop channel hopped]] to {{Creator/Boomerang}}), with [[Creator/ABCMe ABC3]] in Australia and Pop in the UK premiering the show as well in English in the same year. The show wasn't a big success, and it never aired anywhere else internationally as planned. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen A merchandise line was also planned too, with plush toys, playsets, and light up dolls]].
22
23Eventually, the show wasn't renewed for a second season, which caused Toonzone Studios, the (now closed) company behind the adaptation, to take legal action against Aurora World. They lost, and the show [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes started to fade into obscurity]] shortly afterwards.
24----
25!!YEAH, BOY! It's time for the tropes!
26%%* AdaptedOut:
27%%** The Tree of Life. It's possible they intended to return to it in Season 2, [[CutShort but...]]
28%%** Oops, Coops and Big Boss for the same reasons.
29%%** [=YooHoo=] doesn't show ''any'' romantic interest towards Pammee, unlike in the original series where he had a crush on her.
30* AdaptationalVillainy: All of the [=YooHoo=]s started off as {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who destroyed nature before being forced to [[TheAtoner atone for their crimes]] as [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment cute furry animals]], as opposed to a group of heroic animals who are out to save the world as eco-warriors.
31%%* AllGermansAreNazis: Done to a small degree with Pookee 1, but in the reverse manner to usual (giving the so called 'evil villain' a German accent rather than making the German character evil).
32%%* AllMythsAreTrue: Except for George Washington Carver inventing peanut butter.
33%%* AndTheAdventureContinues: The series finale, which was never followed up on due to poor ratings (See CutShort).
34%%* {{Animesque}}: Although, this is because the footage is recycled from Korean animation.
35%%* TheAtoner: More or less the very ''reason'' why Father Time changed Nasty Corp in the first place.
36%%* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Human!Lemmee is the only executive in Nasty Corp to have gray skin.
37* BadassAdorable: The [=YooHoos=] themselves qualify as this, being able to accomplish great feats and consistently save the day, despite their small size, and adorable appearance.
38%%* BambooTechnology: Anything Roodee builds.
39%%* BearsAreBadNews: Invoked but then subverted, as the gang come across a bear and are terrified only for him to be harmless.
40%%** And how about this: the reason why the bear is harmless is due to a badly written newspaper making him myopic, with the episode even titled "Bearly News". ''Makes you wonder''.
41* BeenThereShapedHistory: Part of a RunningGag includes Father Time being present at an important historical event, and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero inadvertently causes it to happen]]. He kickstarted life on the planet by heating primordial soup, accidentally caused the Salem Witch Trials, and was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic.
42%%* BigBad: Nasty Corporation. Interesting case as the "villains" are the same as the main protagonists, now trying to atone for their terrible actions as money-grubbing humans by fixing what they caused.
43%%* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: All of which have appeared over the course of the series [[RuleOfFunny for no apparent reason other than for Father Time to go: "Ah! The Abominable Snowman!"]]
44%%* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Nasty Corp. has a toilet in the meeting room.
45%%* BlatantLies: '''Everything''' that Ruby says.
46%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: See NoFourthWall.
47* BookDumb: Countless characters appear to have an inability to count.
48** Chewoo, Pammee, and several other characters have a tendency to include colors while counting.
49%%** In fact, Pookee 16 is named as such, because the Pookees seem to think that 16 comes after 1 and 2.
50* ButtMonkey:
51** (Or in this case, Squirrel); Chewoo, the cheerleader and grand idiot in the show, considered by her friends as a constant annoyance due to her stupidity, immaturity and hyperactivity. Kinda hard to believe she ever had the ability to be a greedy corporate executive. Roodee once [[BreakingtheFourthWall looks at the camera]] and asks, "Why is she even in this show?" Lemmee also asks when Chewoo effortlessly crosses a dangerous bridge by rolling over it "Why does Chewoo mess up when she tries and succeeds when she doesn't?"
52** The Pookees, as idiotic villains, are by default the target of every possible misfortune, and like Chewoo they don't fare too well in the intellect department.
53-->'''Pookee 1:''' Why do bad things always happen to us?
54-->'''Pookee 16:''' [[LaserGuidedKarma Umm, because we're the bad guys]].
55** In particular Pookee 16 appears to be a butt monkey among his brothers, who treat him as being expendable and always force him to undertake the most dangerous tasks. Shown in the episode "Nasty Book" when Pookee 1 attempt to fling them over a chasm using a catapult,
56-->'''Pookee 16:''' I don't think this is safe.
57-->'''Pookee 1:''' Nobody cares what you think!
58** To a lesser extent Lemmee, when the others get fed up with him. This has increased as the series progresses from the others subtly directing insults at him (especially Roodee and Pammee) to full out displays of dislike, as shown in the "Tree of My Wife" episode when there is fork in the path and they have to split up, [=YooHoo=] states he would be willing go with anyone "as long as it's not Lemmee." Also in the "Stoney Island" ([[IntentionalEngrishForFunny intentionally spelled incorrectly here]]) episode [=YooHoo=] believes that Lemmee won't go to heaven.
59* CatchPhrase:
60-->'''Mother Nature:''' *Gives a request to Father Time*
61-->'''Father Time:''' I don't have time for that!
62-->'''Mother Nature:''' Don't have the time? You're Father Time!
63** Also [=YooHoo=]'s "[=YooHoo=]!" (which survived from the previous series)
64** To a lesser extent Lemmee's "Listen up..."
65** Can't forget Father Time's "YEAH, BOY!".
66* CloudCuckoolander: Loonee the Snowy Owl who is extremely delusional.
67* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Nasty Corp. is this PlayedStraight.
68* CountingToPotato: Chewoo, Pammee, and several other characters have a tendency to include colors while counting.
69* CruellaToAnimals: One of the crimes committed by the Nasty Corp executives when they were human was dining on endangered eagle, then picking their teeth with ebony toothpicks [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and throwing the toothpicks out of their private jet]].
70* CuteBruiser: Chewoo.
71* CutenessProximity: The [=YooHoos=] constantly discover it's hard to be cute and cuddly, without acting like it. All (except Lemmee) behave like the small, adorable animals they have become.
72* CutShort: The English version proved to be a ratings disaster in the UK, so Season 2 never got its GagDub.
73* DashingHispanic: Libby the Lynx.
74* DeadpanSnarker: Roodee and Lemmee often engage in this, frequently at [[SnarkToSnarkCombat each other]].
75* DisproportionateRetribution: In the future the punishment for harming a petrified tree is being thrown in "Future Jail". Questioning "Future Laws" results in a PieInTheFace followed by a brick. Killing the aforementioned tree is grounds for getting mauled by a giant robot cat.
76* DolledUpInstallment: So much was altered that it's practically a different show.
77* DudeLooksLikeALady: Sasa the Shaolin Monkey (who's a boy in this series) has girly eyelashes and a flower in his hair.
78* EpicFail: Nasty Corp seemed very good at this. Special mention goes to kidnapping an endangered owl and forcing it to record multiple albums, then releasing them to the public. Without realizing how god awful its singing was.
79** Father Time takes his wife on a romantic cruise. On the ''Titanic''. And then he books a flight on the Hindenburg.
80* ExiledToTheCouch: Mother Nature threatens Father Time with this in the pilot (and in the ExpositoryThemeTune).
81* ExpositoryThemeTune: The theme speaks for itself.
82-->''OnceUponATime, there were five executives, who destroyed the Earth for money / Mother Nature got mad, said Father Time, "hey dad, you better stop 'em or you're sleeping on the couch, honey!" / So Father Time zapped those five into fluffy, cuddly, sweetie pies / To places they plunder, gemstones they must recover''
83* {{Expy}}:
84** Chewoo's personality seems heavily derived from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]].
85** Ricky the nearsighted bear sounds a helluva lot like WesternAnimation/YogiBear.
86** Easter Bunny's voice is very similar to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny.
87* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Libby the Lynx, is so muscular and sexy, he entrances the girls which makes the boys jealous, but later on some of them accidentally let slip their own latent attraction, especially Lemmee.
88-->'''Lemmee:''' The girls may be attracted to you, but we're not! ...That much. Now take your godlike face and rippling muscles and leave!
89-->'''Lemmee:''' I really don't like that guy, or his awesome muscles, and handsome face.
90* FailureIsTheOnlyOption:
91** Almost every scheme cooked up by Nasty Corp failed horribly. It gets to the point where one wonders why they were still in business at all. Though it is possible Nasty Corp was scamming its customers, making money by selling dysfunctional products that customers were suckered into buying.
92** Not to mention the Pookees who seemed to be born to fail. On a few occasions they actually theorize that bad things befall them because they're the bad guys.
93* ForcedTransformation: The central theme of the series with the Nasty Corp executives being transformed into [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter cute, cuddly animals]].
94* GagDub: Father Time's scenes were made for the English dub.
95* GirlyGirl: Pammee the princess who finds half of the characters they come across to be romantic, and wanting to marry them. Humorously averted with Ring-Ring the Panda, who is the one character to ever openly display affection to her, but she ends up remaining completely oblivious to this.
96* GenkiGirl: Chewoo the 'cheerleader' who is always happy and playful no matter how devastating the situation is.
97-->'''Lemmee:''' Why is she always so happy?
98-->'''Roodee:''' Oh Lemmee, she's so happy because you're just so fun to be around.
99* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Roodee's book seems to contain information on anything he needs to know at a given moment.
100-->'''[=YooHoo=]:''' Lemmee, do you have to ruin everything we find beautiful?
101-->'''Lemmee:''' Of course, it's the only thing I'm good at.
102* HarmlessVillain: The Pookees, a trio of meerkats who want the [=YooHoos=]' wish to become human.
103* HammerSpace:
104** The [=YooHoos=] consistent tendency to store things in their armpits, such as Roodee's "armpit book" (which has a mind of its own and does not like being stored there due to hygiene) and [=YooHoo=]'s bag of gems.
105-->'''Pookee 2:''' "How does Roodee keep this in his armpit?"
106-->'''Pookee 16:''' "His armpit must magically shrink things. Just like [[SelfDeprecation watching cartoons shrinks brains]]."
107** Father Time, able to produce his magic wooden staff from inside his coat, in his pants, under his hat, and even in his ear. As well as being able to keep the TV in his pants.
108* HeliumSpeech: Chewoo's extremely high pitched voice (respect to Mara Kay for being able to pull that off).
109-->'''Lemmee:''' "It couldn't be worse than when Chewoo's singing makes our ears bleed."
110-->'''Chewoo''' (cheerfully)''':''' "Ears and eyes!"
111* HistoricalRapSheet: Father Time was responsible for starting the Salem Witch Trials after trying to help three women carrying heavy buckets of water... by enchanting brooms to carry them. Thankfully he managed to save their skins shortly afterwards.
112* HomosexualReproduction: Three boy parrots who somehow managed to produce an egg. The problem did not exist in the [[DubInducedPlotHole original series]] because one of the parrots was a girl.
113* IdiotHero: Most of the animals, with the exception of Roodee, who is a genius, able to construct complex inventions from random things he finds, and the only one able to read.
114** In particular, Chewoo, who is a complete ditz and often considered an annoyance. In the episode with Nasty Corp's candy plants, after initially failing the [=YooHoos=] agree to just blame it on Chewoo, and when [=YooHoo=] explains the problem and Chewoo doesn't even pay attention Roodee asks "Why is she even in this show?".
115** Pammee is also quite frequently in this role, but not as frequently as Chewoo due to her shy, introverted nature. However in the episode with Ring Ring the Panda where Ring Ring falls in love with Pammee and tells her an elevator joke, before finishing the joke Pammee laughs and asks for it to be told again only to later state she never got the joke from the beginning. Father Time then says "With Pammee the elevator never reaches the top floor", where everyone laughs only for Chewoo to ask "Pammee has an elevator?"
116** [=YooHoo=] also tends to spout stupid claims, but to a much lesser extent than the girls.
117** Lemmee, although not exactly a genius, appears to be the only character who cares about his intelligence and is the only character with the ability to hide it. Also he appears to be the [[OnlySaneMan sanest character]] (despite being the biggest asshole), having to put up with the stupidity around him.
118* HumansAreMorons: Not that the animals are any brighter.
119* IChooseToStay: In the series finale, [[spoiler:the protagonists make a SelflessWish rather than change back to "normal", ultimately deciding that the adventures they had were far more enjoyable than being a CorruptCorporateExecutive]].
120* ImpossibleThief: Libby the lynx hides the gem bag in Roodee's ear, then pulls it out of [=YooHoo=]'s.
121* InkSuitActor: Flavor Flav as Father Time. He even has the viking helmet, clock and his consistent usage of the phrase "yeah, boy!". This is later poked fun at when Father Time appears as a special guest at a hippie concert where he performs a rap, but is then booed off the stage.
122* InterspeciesRomance: Happy the Red Panda is married to a sea cow named Martha. For extra weirdness, he was originally [[ShesAManInJapan female]].
123* LadyLooksLikeADude: Mother Nature, at least in the face area.
124* LossOfIdentity:
125** The once evil, money hungry corporate executives now turned to cute, adorable, playful, fun loving animals. Especially Chewoo who is extremely childish.
126** Averted with Lemmee who is still rude, selfish and still uses [[HilaritySues suing]] as a threat.
127** Sometimes averted with [=YooHoo=] when he has trouble understanding what was actually wrong with what they did. Shown in "Mummy Dearest" where Father Time explains they made glow-in-the-dark toothpaste from toxic waste, Lemmee states "We were just recycling." It's also done a few times with Chewoo where she will see their former product or the site where they commited the crime and instinctively think of committing the crime again (forgetting that they had already committed it and were being punished for it).
128* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [=YooHoo=], Roodee, Pamee and Cheewoo's personalities are altered significantly upon being transformed, making them act like the [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Critters]] they now are. They even greet Father Time like a friend, and don't seem to mind having been transformed at all, which makes one wonder [[LossOfIdentity if they're even still doing it to become human again]], [[spoiler: turns out they don't.]]
129** Lemmee's personality and behavior remain the same, as stated above. [[OnlySaneMan He's the only one of the five whose reaction fits what one would expect him to have.]]
130** And guess what; [[spoiler: the [=YooHoos=] end up doing just that, and remain as cute, little animals]].
131* MineralMacGuffin: Yoohoo and his friends have to complete tasks for Father Time in order to collect gems. When they have a full set of gems, Father Time will grant them a wish, which they intended to use to become human again.
132* MotiveDecay: A rare positive example, the protagonists' original intended wish is gradually reduced to an afterthought, [[spoiler:and eventually thrown away entirely]].
133* NarratingTheObvious:
134** Mainly [=YooHoo=] who has a tendency to sayby out loud many of his actions, in particular the phrase "Grab" whenever he grabs something (in fact he says this phrase so often it borders being a CatchPhrase). In the episode with the blue-maned lion, when [=YooHoo=] states that the lion was transforming (as a result of a magic puddle) Lemmee says "Thanks, narrator!"
135** Roodee has also done this, in the pelican episode after making his claw fishing rod and continuously stating its obvious functions, Lemmee at first continues saying "Duh" before threatening to slap him if he said one more obvious thing.
136* NiceJobBreakingItHero: See HistoricalRapSheet.
137* NoIndoorVoice:
138** Chewoo, with a fair few examples;
139-->[The [=YooHoos=] are hiding in some bushes to try avoid being seen by an angry gorilla]
140-->'''Chewoo''' (at the top of her voice)''':''' Hey Pammee! Why are you whispering?
141* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Just look at Father Time and the other characters drawn by David Feiss vs. the original Korean characters.
142* NoFourthWall: The series is aware of itself, with the [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall being broken]] in every manner possible; with characters able to notice and point out every cartoon element in the show including [[ThoughtBubbleSpeech thought bubbles]], [[BigBallOfViolence fight clouds]], fade outs, [[SnotBubble snot bubbles]], [[ToonPhysics cartoon physics]], "referring to episode" transition, and many more.
143** One of the most evident ones is when Roodee was scared of seeing vampire bats (actually the [[PaperThinDisguise (pathetically) disguised]] Pookees), [=YooHoo=] tells him not to worry as the vampire bats were nocturnal and that it was day time, he would be safe until night time, and Roodee's response; "But that could be in a few seconds! This is a cartoon, you know!".
144** In addition, Father Time actually acts as the show's narrator, talking directly with the audience at the start of every episode. In fact, he once explains that he appears on the show and makes the episodes as an excuse to not get a real job.
145* NoProductSafetyStandards: Pretty much all of Nasty Corp's products, which included lava perfume and diet acid cola.
146* OddlySmallOrganization: Most of the time the Nasty Corp. executives seem to be the only people working in their corporation (as they are directly responsible for everyone of their schemes and not simply giving orders).
147* OnceAnEpisode: Whenever the [=YooHoos=] obtain a gem, they have a music video celebrating it. The first episode has them wondering when they actually filmed it since "5 minutes ago [they] were still human."
148* OurOgresAreHungrier: What Father Time is.
149* ParkingPayback: Santa Claus parks his sleigh in front of Father Time's house. Father Time uses his magical powers to move the sleigh so it is front of a fire hydrant, causing Santa Claus to get a ticket.
150* PowerTrio: The Pookies, though in their case it's more a case of [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Not-so-Power Trio]]. They do share the most similarities with the FreudianTrio; with Pookee 1 being Id (even though he's the leader), Pookee 16 being Superego, and Pookee 2 being Ego (but instead of getting to make decisions, he's blindly bossed around and torn between the other two conflicting voices).
151* SatireParodyPastiche: Although it is an official TV series, many people can not help wondering at first glance considering: the dubbed over footage, and the characters, object placements and storyline being ridiculed and made fun of (usually by BreakingTheFourthWall).
152** In fact it bordelines on being an AbridgedSeries of the South Korean series.
153* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: By the truckload.
154* RunningGag: A running gag was introduced later in the series involving Lemmee where after [=YooHoo=] and friends fix one of their crimes and the victim of the crime wishes to repay them, Lemmee will always selfishly try to claim the reward only to discover it is a hug from the (oversized) victim which causes him pain.
155* ShoutOut:
156** Father Time rescues a trio of women accused of being witches by transporting them to [[Literature/HarryPotter Hogwarts]].
157** [=YooHoo=] once references the origin of ''[=YooHoo=] and Friends''; the plush toys, when he had a dream that they were all stuffed animals and every kid in the world was playing with them.
158** There were references to ''Westernanimation/CowAndChicken'' (a show that Feiss himself created) in some episodes.
159* SeriesContinuityError: So many examples, major ones including:
160** The Ring Ring the Panda episodes are shown in the wrong order (with the [=YooHoos=] mentioning they met Ringring in "the previous episode" that hadn't occurred yet).
161** The same problem occurs with Happy the Red Panda where the team come across him again, without meeting him for the first time, which occurs several episodes later.
162** It even happens with the Pookees, where they begin their vain quest to steal the magic gems before they even discover the existence of the gems, (and continue trying to pursue the gems when it was already established that they didn't want to hunt the gems anymore, when Father Time [[ScareEmStraight shows them their hideous human forms]]).
163** In episode 52, Father Time seemed pretty convinced that [[spoiler:the [=YooHoos=] were going to use their wish to become human again and acted amazed when they didn't]]. He should have known they wouldn't the moment he met [[IdenticalGrandson the Eco Police]] in episode 33.
164* ShapesOfDisappearance: In the GagDub, the first episode has [=YooHoo=] point out the outline of Chewoo in the show's BreakingTheFourthWall style, mentioning that "someone who fits that shape I just imagined next to me" is missing.
165* ShesAManInJapan: Several characters originally girls underwent gender changes due to Jesse Inocalla voicing practically every additional character, but this went on to create further complications when many of them still retain their [[DudeLooksLikeALady girl looks]] and [[HomosexualReproduction physiology]].
166* SimpletonVoice: Both Pammee and Chewoo are prone to this, being the most BookDumb and naive members of the team.
167* SnotBubble: One of the most focused cartoon elements, appearing since the first episode where [=YooHoo=] actually uses it to save him and Pammee from drowning, in another episode [=YooHoo=] notices that not all of them have snot bubbles when they sleep.
168* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: The book acts like this sometimes, containing sarcastic replies to questions the animals ask.
169-->How would I know? I'm just a book, not the cloud master or something!
170* ThemeTuneRollCall: The theme song has the five animals introducing themselves near the end.
171-->'''Lemmee:''' I'm Lemmee!\
172'''Roodee:''' I'm Roodee!\
173'''Pammee;''' I'm Pammee!\
174'''Chewoo:''' I'm Chewoo!\
175'''All four:''' Did we forget...\
176'''[=YooHoo=]:''' Me, [=YooHoo=]!
177* TooDumbToLive: Chewoo.
178-->[Chewoo gleefully bounds ahead upon hearing of the perilous danger]
179-->'''Lemmee:''' "Is she brave or is she stupid?"
180-->'''[=YooHoo=]:''' "She's Chewoo."
181** Later on this is subverted when she is always the deliverer of "the dumb idea which saves the day", and the others rely on her to provide the solution, to the point where her idiocy is often what allows them to [[DisabilitySuperpower succeed]].
182--> Lemmee: "Like I said, a dumb idea always saves the day."
183* TwoShorts: The series was intended to be viewed in this format, and did indeed air this way in Latin America; but in Australia all 52 segments aired separately.
184* UnfortunateNames: The reoccurring joke where Father Time will say "I don't have the time" for one of Mother Nature's requests which she will respond by saying "Don't have the time? You're Father Time!". In the first episode, he reveals that sometimes he wishes that his name were "Bob or Carl or something."
185* VocalEvolution: Coupled with a previous point above; the [=YooHoos=] voices are "cutified" along with their physical appearance, especially Chewoo's high-pitched HeliumSpeech. With the possible exception of Lemmee (and on some occasions, Roodee). With Lemmee his personality doesn't seem to have changed either.
186** Worth noting sometimes Cedric Themole accidentally reverts to Mr. [=YooHoo=]'s voice when voicing [=YooHoo=] (this may be because [=YooHoo=]'s voice was originally intended to remain unchanged, but later decisions were made to cutify it, and as a result some of the footage was left accidentally undubbed).
187* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ms. Bushu seemed to have been set up as a reoccurring villain, but vanished after her initial appearance and was never mentioned again.
188----
189-->'''The [=YooHoos=]''': We're one step closer to our wish!
190-->'''Lemmee''': I wish this page would end! ''*ding*''
