Iconicles is a children's television series. The series is a British-American co-production between Create Media Ventures (as "Iconicles Limited") and phuuz entertainment, in association with Foothill Entertainment and Dinamo Productions, and combines live-action, 2D and 3D animation.
Plot The series tells of a guy named Nat (Gavin Stenhouse) who invents an amazing display, the Iconi-Screen, that allows him to communicate with animated animals in various settings, such as a farm, the arctic, a jungle, and a garden. The animals are called "Iconicles". In every episode, Nat has a problem and is helped to solve it by an Iconicle, who jumps out of the Iconi-Screen to enter the real world and interact with Nat. At some point in every episode, there is a game with questions and answers based on what happened with some of the Iconicles.
Characters Rumple (voiced by Toby Williams), a purple grumpy rhino who has a big heart for other Iconicles. He lives in the Wild Wilderness. Miss Moo (voiced by Helen Lederer), a green cow who has strict rules to keep everything tidy yet is very humble. She lives down on the farm. Splish and Splash (voiced by Sam Lewis and Ellie Jayne Howick), two blue and orange twin polar bear cubs who are curious and always want to have a lot of fun. They live in the Water's Edge. Skitter (voiced by Tim Dann), a red friendly squirrel who loves to collect acorns. He lives around the garden.
