The Save-Ums! facts for kids

The Save-Ums! is a Canadian CGI animated superhero children's television series produced by Decode Entertainment. The series premiered on CBC Television as part of the Kids' CBC programming block on February 24, 2003, and ended on July 11, 2006.

Synopsis

The Save-Ums, which consist of Jazzi, Noodle, Custard, Ka-Chung, Foo and B.B. Jammies, are a group of six characters of various appearances, who help various creatures when they run into difficulty.

Each episode begins with a call on the "adventure screen" (essentially a videophone) from an inhabitant of the world in which the Save-Ums live. The caller describes the difficulty that needs to be resolved, and then select Save-Ums travel to the scene of the problem. There are three different places that the Save-Ums travel to solve problems: Rock World, an island with a large mountain; Lava World, a tropical island with a volcano; and Wave World, which is under the ocean.

The Save-Ums then assist in solving the problem. Each episode ends with the problem being solved and the Save-Ums returning to their headquarters.

Characters

The Save-Ums

• Jazzi is a female purple passionate girl with red hair tied into two pigtails who dreams to speak the language of wild horses. She is afraid of water and is shown to be the leader in numerous episodes. She was voiced by Tajja Isen.
• Noodle (Caboche in the French dub) is a male white hound dog-like creature who is the most intelligent and mature of the group, often being the voice of reason and helping others to see what is right. He also pilots the subchopper, a helicopter that travels on air or under the sea. He was voiced by Mark Rendall (Season 1) and Cameron Ansell (Season 2).
• Custard (Berlingot in the French dub) is a cool male purple and red cat-eared Save-Um who pilots the Zoomer, a powerboat that travels on either water or snow, and goes on most missions. He is known for saying "Bam!" when he gets an idea. He was voiced by Jordan Francis.
• Ka-Chung (Aïkido in the French dub) is a male red and white hippopotamus-like creature who is the toughest Save-Um. He is known to shout "Ka-Chung!" as his catchphrase. He pilots the Ka-Drill, a tunnel boring machine. He was voiced by Mitchell Eisner.
• Foo (Louna in the French dub) is a female blue and yellow long limbed angelfish-like creature who is the youngest and nicest of the Save-Ums. She also goes on most missions. She flies a jet pack. She was voiced by Aaryn Doyle.
• B.B. Jammies (Bébé Jimmy in the French dub) is Jazzi's younger brother, who has a purple American football-shaped head. Since he is too young to go on missions, he mostly plays with the Puffs. He was voiced by Connor Price.
