Produced by Blueprint

a fast-paced animated series aimed at 6-to-11 year olds, following the
experiences of a nature-obsessed piglet, Iggy, and his friend Jiggers, the
beaver.

“Iggy Arbuckle is a quirky new series that is full of colorful
characters and endless possibilities for new and exciting worlds to be
explored,” said Paul Taylor, the CEO of Jetix Europe. “Iggy Arbuckle is a great addition to the Jetix portfolio as it
combines the perfect blend of side-splitting comedy with off-the-wall,
imagination-inspiring adventure.”
