Rubbadubbers

September 2, 2003 – December 6, 2005

Rubbadubbers is a British stop-motion children's television series produced by HIT Entertainment.

Storyline

The Rubbadubbers are animated bath toys who live in a bathroom. The bath toys teach children about the difficult realities of life and the negative aspects of dreaming about a better world. Each episode features one character being transported to a dream world in which a wish the character made by saying "if only" followed by the wish comes true. But the "if only" situation always ends badly for the character in the dream world. Another character then wishes another "if only" that brings the original wisher back from the dream world to the bathroom.

Sound Effects Used

The show mainly uses Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros., and Cartoon Trax Volume 1 sound effects, with minor selections from The Premiere Edition Volume 1, and Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.
