The theme song of the show, Here in Higglytown, is performed by They Might Be Giants, which was also released on their second children's album Here Come the ABCs. After its series finale originally aired on January 7, 2008, reruns aired on Playhouse Disney until March 29, 2009. Disney Junior (the channel) then aired it in reruns from March 23, 2012 until May 16, 2014. The show was added to Disney+ in April 2021. The Higglytown Heroes TV series was made using Alias Maya which was used to design models and textures for the Higglytown Heroes characters, and Photoshop which was used to create the 2D backgrounds and 2D props.^[4] The lyrics to the first "Hero" song were written by Kent Redeker, one of the show's executive producers. The song was composed and produced by Mark Harrison, the show's senior songwriter.

Hero Song

Each episode contains two songs. An initial "dilemma" song which sets up the "problem" which needs to be solved followed by the "I'm a Higglytown Hero" song which introduces the hero who solves the problem, some of the heroes would later appear in later episodes.

While every hero song has the same basic melody as the initial hero song, it was performed and produced each song with different lyrics and instrumentation to fit the episode's specific hero. It starts with the hero introducing themselves, explaining their duties, the children bringing up nonsensical rhyming hypothetical situations and that their duties would cover these situations as well, that they work hard to serve and that they should work hard to be a hero "just like you" [sic].

Brad Mossman, the other principal songwriter, composed lyrics and music for a number of dilemma songs in many episodes as well.

This show was re-dubbed in the UK sometime between 2005 and 2010, which aired in the UK on Playhouse Disney on April 11, 2005. In the UK dub, Fran is voiced by veteran actress Sue Johnston, Eubie is voiced by Jonathan Bee and Joe Cooper, Wayne is voiced by Africa Nile, Twinkle is voiced by Amira McCarthy, and Kip was voiced by Matthew Thomas Davies, this also included most of the character cast in the show who ware voiced by the majority of the actors in the UK. Pizza Guy is called Pizza Man instead, causing minor lip-sync issues, most of which would probably not be noticed by the show's target audience.

Eubie's allowed to go fishing with his Uncle Zooter and Aunt Mellie, and his friends Wayne, Twinkle, Kip and Fran. But to everyone's surprise, Kip actually catches a whale. As it turns out, the whale is a baby and the baby had got lost in the river. But even Pizza Guy, with his sardine pizza, can't lure the whale back into the sea. Then comes a marine biologist. With the help of an underwater microphone, she can tell the whale where to swim. When they finally reach the open sea, the whale mother is very happy to see her child healthy again. When tidying up, Fripp cleans the attic, looks for his bowling ball and finds a box of colored chalk.

The next day he takes toast with banana on raisins for all the kids at kindergarten. It tastes so good, that they eat all toasts! But oh dear, Wayne doesn't have lunch now! His friends offer to share their break with him, but nobody has a toast with them. What are they supposed to do now? How good that the lunch lady comes to the rescue! Kip's twin sisters, Wiki and Tini, who go to school for older children, take part in a spelling bee. Ms. Fern decides to go with the kids to watch. But then Five Higgly-friends get lost in the big school.
