Toot the Tiny Tugboat is a British children's animated television series developed from Sebastien Braun’s Toot and Pop! picture book by Lupus Films and animated by Cloth Cat Animation.[2] The series has been airing on Channel 5 Milkshake! since October 2014, and started showing on the 9 am time slot from October 2015.[3] Additionally, the series broadcasts on the Cartoonito channel, with the Welsh language version airing on S4C Cyw.[4][5] The series is also available on Netflix.[6]
The show follows the nautical adventures of a young tugboat called Toot as he helps out with jobs around the harbour, with episodes involving themes such as taking responsibility, respecting wildlife, being a good friend, helping those in need, working in a team and believing in yourself.[7] The large cast of characters includes other boats, seaside animals, harbourside workers, the Harbour Master and his twin grandchildren Bethan and Caleb.
Toot's catchphrase is "Heave-ho, let's go!"
