Oddbods (also known as The Oddbods Show) is a Singaporean-British computer-animated comedy television series produced by One Animation. The series centers on eight charactersâÂÂBubbles, Pogo, Newt, Jeff, Slick, Fuse, Zee and as of season 4, LuluâÂÂwearing furry suits of different colors. The characters make sounds but there is no dialogue, making the series easily translatable and international. The characters also do not speak English or any human languages coherently, and the characters only speak gibberish.
The series debuted in 2013. Each season has 60 episodes, and the first season ended in 2015. Season two followed in 2016. Season three released on 4 April 2022 on Netflix. Each episode is relatively short, and various formats have been broadcast, including one, five, and seven-minute episodes.
The series has won several awards since its debut, including the Asian Television Awards, Apollo Awards, Gold Panda Awards, and Web TV Asia Awards. In 2017, it was nominated for an international Kids Emmy Award.
The series focuses on eight creatures in colorful furry suits called the Oddbods: Fuse, Pogo, Newt, Slick, Bubbles, Jeff, Zee, and Lulu.
The storyline of each episode depicts how these characters "survive the perils of everyday life, unintentionally turning ordinary situations into unexpected, extraordinary and always humorous events." Episodes typically employ physical comedy and pranks played out between the characters, and the events that follow.
The series was conceived as a non-dialogue comedy, which the series' creators and writers say, "captures the madcap yet charming antics of the Oddbods, who celebrate success where they find it and take failure in their stride. To turn 'different' into a positive; celebrating individuality in a humorous, warm and unexpected way."
The series' strapline is "Embrace your inner odd, there's a little odd in everyone!"

Speaking in an interview with the Manchester Evening News in 2016, Richard Thomas, the creator of the Oddbods and creative director at One Animation described how he first devised the show:
Founded in 2008, One Animation Pte Ltd was a Singaporean CGI animation studio based in the Alexandra subzone of the Bukit Merah district. The company had also produced Rob the Robot, Insectibles and cancelled series Hard Boiled and Abigail's Tales. The company had produced a portfolio of successful animated series that are broadcast on global networks such as Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney XD, Discovery Kids, ABC, and seen across more than 100 countries worldwide.
The company focused on developing family-focused TV, film and new media content, facilitating shorter than average production schedules, utilizing a crew that was typically one-third the size of a traditional CGI animation production team.
In May 2022, One Animation was acquired by Candle Media company Moonbug Entertainment. Nearly 2 years later, in February 2024, Moonbug officially shut down One Animation.
The soundtrack is composed by Kristin ÃÂhrn Dyrud.
Minibods is a spin-off of Oddbods that features five out of the seven main Oddbods characters as toddlers with the addition of new character, Lulu. It premiered in 15 April 2023 on the series' YouTube channel with 39 episodes produced.

It is also available on-demand on social media channels, most notably YouTube, iQIYI (China) and ABC Me (Australia), where it has gained over one billion views in just one year. There are currently approximately 11.8 Million subscribers to the series' YouTube channel (As of December 12, 2025). In 2015, the series aired on Disney XD in the United States and last aired in 2015. In 2016 Japan, the series aired on Disney XD with adaptation of The Oddbods Show, only showing in season 1, but it stopped airing and removed the show. The series came on ITVBe's LittleBe on 3 September 2018. Also, the series came to Disney XD in 2020, but stopped airing and streamed episodes on DisneyNOW, which also stopped streaming episodes. In 2017, Netflix added seasons 1 and 2 into their streaming service only other countries available in season 2, such as Singapore, Philippines, Japan and South Korea, the streaming removed season 2 and only showing season 1 in 2021.
In 2015, Oddbods was one of the highest-rated children's television shows in the United Kingdom, by number of viewers. It was one of CiTV's top five shows for the first quarter of 2016.
In January 2017, One Animation launched a new look website dedicated to the Oddbods as a place where fans of the show (adults and children alike) can interact with the brand.
The site hosts seven games with player leaderboards. Other features include videos, user generated content, in store section, shop now section, interactive background pages on each of the characters complete with trading card-style character summary and related videos. There is also an interactive collector poster which allows fans to view the episode their collectible figurine was inspired by.
In 2016, One Animation announced via press releases various partnerships with key licensing partners for Oddbods around the world including, amongst others, with ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE) and Copyright Promotions and Licensing Group (CPLG).
This led to the commencement of a global licensing programme being rolled out, the first of which was a range of toys made available first in Europe and the Middle East. As well as extending the toy availability around the world over the course of 2017/18, a wider range of consumer products including apparel, giftware and stationery are also in the pipeline.
