Mega Babies
Encyclopedia
Mega Babies is a Canadian
cartoon created by the Tremblay brothers, Christian and Yvon, and produced by CinéGroupe
and Landmark Entertainment Group in association with Sony Wonder
.
Mega Babies was co-directed by Kevin Patrick Currie, Rick Thomas and Waid Konuwanchuk that first aired on January 1, 1999 and ended on April 1, 2001. Mega Babies was aired on Fox Family
and Teletoon. The show was also aired weekday mornings in the UK on Sky One
and was later repeated on Channel 5 on weekend mornings between 2001 and 2002.
Meg is cranky and stuck-up about everyone's behavior, Bucky is shy (also the youngest of the trio), a bit slower in the head than the rest, Derrick is standoffish (with a tendency to argue with Meg) and a bit of a showoff, and all of them love strudel and Nurse Lazlo.
After their birth, they are brought to an orphanage. When the entire solar system aligned itself, the babies and their nurse were struck by lightning. The babies were given super strength and other, decidedly more disgusting powers, and Nurse Lazlo's IQ flew off the charts.
The show uses a lot of toilet humor based on snot, vomit, flatulence, drool, and various other bodily fluids coming from the cast. This has become the basis of the show, as the babies often use this, combined with their own amazing strength, to save the city.
, Dean Hagopian voiced many male characters, Laura Teasdale did Derrick's voice, Meg was voiced by Jaclyn Linetsky
and Bronwen Mantel
voiced Nurse Lazlo.
