Iconicles is a live-action/animated television series for pre-schoolers. The series is a co-production between the British Create Media Ventures and the American phuuz entertainment, in association with Foothill Entertainment and Dinamo Productions. The series uses a cross between live-action, flash animation and CGI animation.[2]
The series tells of a man 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 sea, a jungle, and a forest. 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.[2][3]
Characters
The most prominent Iconicles:
Splish and Splash (voiced by Sam Lewis and Ellie Jayne Howick): Two twin polar bears who are curious and always want to have a lot of fun.

Miss Moo (voiced by Helen Lederer): a cow who has strict rules to keep everything tidy yet is very humble.
Rumple (voiced by Toby Williams): a grumpy rhino who has a big heart for other Iconicles.[3]
