Codename: Kids Next Door

      Codename: Kids Next Door are five eager, yet bumbling, ten-year-olds who join forces on missions throughout their neighborhood.  Like any good team, the agents in Kids Next Door each have their own distinct identities, skills and personalities.  In the pilot episode, "No P in the Ool," they team up to free the local swimming pool from the tyrannical "adult swim," thus saving the neighborhood kids from having to use the dreaded "kiddie pool."

Codename: Kids Next Door follows the escapades of five eager, yet bumbling, ten-year-olds as they join forces against adulthood to fight for the right to enjoy all the fun things in life. These principled kids tackle the really important issues facing their peers, like the right to stay up late or to eat whatever they want. But when taking a stand is just not enough, this crew embarks on top secret missions on behalf of children everywhere, utilizing fantastic homemade technology like flying machines and catapults, to accomplish their goals. 

     Like any good team, the agents in Codename: Kids Next Door each have their own distinct identities, skills and personalities. Numbuh One is Nigel Uno, the British-accented leader of the group. Hoagie P. Gilliam, a mechanical genius and expert pilot, is known as Numbuh Two. Diversionary tactics are the specialty of Kiki Sanban, also known as Numbuh Three. Brash and impulsive Numbuh Four (Wallabee Beatles) is a master of hand to hand combat. And Numbuh Five, alias Abigail "Abby" Lincoln, is the quiet one with the most common sense. 

     Whether it’s the possibility of getting shipped off to summer camp, battling the imposition of adult swim time at the local swimming pool, or clashing with adult enemies such as Gramma Stuffum, Knightbrace, Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb, these kids have their work cut out for them. 

Codename: Kids Next Door was chosen by viewers last August during The Big Pick on Cartoon Cartoon Weekend to be the next Cartoon Cartoon original series. During The Big Pick, fans had the opportunity to view nine series pilots and then log on to CartoonNetwork.com or call in to choose their favorite. 

          The series is created by Tom Warburton, an award-winning animator that has worked as a director on Cartoon Network's Sheep in the Big City. He was head character designer on the first season of ABC's series Pepper Ann. Warburton has also worked with J.J. Sedelmaier Productions, contributing to such television projects as Saturday Night Live and Schoolhouse Rock, Beavis and Butthead, as well as commercials for Converse, Volkswagen and Levi's.
