Higglytown Heroes is an upbeat children's show that will remind all parents of their past enjoyment with Weebles that wobble but they don't fall down. While the Higglytown children have flat bottoms and don't wobble, they do have a place to store their hats, mittens and other important items in their bellies.
The group They Might Be Giants, who are now well known in the preschooler age group for their video Here Come the A B C's, did the theme song for the Higglytown Heros. Music and imagination fill the Higglytown Heroes show with 2 episodes per show that can be seen daily on Playhouse Disney.
The object of this show which follows the daily life of Kip, Wayne, Twinkle, Fran (a Squirrel), and Eubie is to show the children that anyone can be a hero. The Pizza Guy and another adult who ends up being able to show them how to do something usually join the Weeble-like children, and the person helping them becomes a Higglytown Hero. For example, in one episode the kids are looking for their missing cat, and it is the day of the cat's birthday party. Well, they find her up a tree, and she has had kittens. The Fire Department shows up, and helps them to get the cats down. In this episode, the Firemen are the Higglytown Heroes.
This show is very entertaining, and in most episodes will showcase Twinkle's very vivid imagination. Someone Special Who Can It Be can be heard during each show as the kids prepare to meet this episodes Hero. While as adults we tend to look at those who save lives as heroes, this show is much more simplistic. Here children will learn that Dentists, Phone Operators and more can be a hero.
Higglytown Heroes is a wonderful show for both the target audience of 3 to 6 year olds, but also the parent or guardian of the child.

and ya'll must watch a different version. They "eat and eat?" Hmmm, never saw that one. You know, I'm 48 years old and my parents didn't fret over every silly little thing I saw or heard, and I turned out to be a healthy, happy, polite, helpful, friendly, curteous person. People, relax!!! It's a kids' CARTOON!!!

Hello again... I found this website while looking for HH party supplies for our daughter's b-day on 3/22... have any of you ever found ANYTHING? I can't and it's crazy! Then again, maybe that's a good thing, because you know at a birthday party, the kids are going to (Heaven FORBID......) "Eat And Eat!!!" lol

Every episode shows how "anyone" can be a Higglytown Hero. Food is not the focal point of the show. The kids are always outside playing and using their imagination (what more could we want for our kids?). Yes, pizza guy is a character in every episode, but the kids don't sit around eating. I believe the show also introduces diversity by having several different "families". Anyway, I feel the messages are good and my son loves the show. We watch with him, so anything can be discussed if need be.

i do understand your point about making a soldier a hero but the show is more about food than anything.i don't know if they have a big profit to promote food items or what,but the show promotes too much food. we have a problem with obesity in this country . do any of you see that?. half of the time the show is on is about it.please if you see this make a comment .please.

Our family loves this show. We watch it everyday... at least once, but I do agree with the previous person who asked why soldiers have never been picked as Higgly Heroes. I even tried to help my son "make his hero" on the Disney website, and there wasn't anything to resemble a military person to represent his dad. Just curious...

higgly town heros as far as i can see is the show about Russian dols who eat and eat and eat.that is the only thing i saw on the show.talking about food especially pizza and we all know that if you talk about food long enough you will get hungry.it is not enough that we have obisity problem in kids but to get them to think about food while watching the cartoon....i think is wrong and it should be at least considered to have more HEALTHY food on there like fruit or something. thank you Concerned Mother

I love this show!! I have my own daycare business, and we all stop doing our daily activities to watch this show every day. It is so positive, colorful and educational all in one, not to mention the catchy little tunes! I am 35 years old, and I even enjoy watching it with the kids. :) Please do not ever take this show off the air. A huge hurrah for the wonderful and creative people who create this show!

Maybe this will give some people some other clever ideas?

I love this show. McKenna loves the show as well. Even though she is only 8 months old she recognizes the theme song and just smiles when I start to sing it. I also think the shows teach important lessons about all of our talents and how important they are. I just wished that there were more products out there. I would love to have her first pary with this but not much out there.
