BoBoiBoy is a Malaysian animated series and franchise produced by Animonsta Studios. In this story, a young boy gains superpowers based on the elements, and has the ability to separate into different personas. With his friends, Hanna (Malay: Yaya), Ying, Gopal and Fang, they form a team and fight to protect the Earth from alien threats who aim to conquer the Earth.

The original series, consisting of three seasons, was aired from March 2011 to June 2016. Its first theatrical film, BoBoiBoy: The Movie, was released on 3 March 2016.

Production

BoBoiBoy is the first Malaysian release of Animonsta Studios Sdn. Bhd., an animation company established by Nizam Razak with three other partners: Safwan Abdul Karim, Anas Abdul Aziz, and Kee Yong Pin after they left Les' Copaque Production in 2009.

The original concept of the story centres on a coffee-addict alien named Adu Du who has made his way to Earth. A minor change was made later, where instead of coffee, the alien is now in search of cocoa. The change, according to its Facebook fan page, was due to the fact that coffee is a bitter-tasting drink, and does not appeal to children.

The series was released simultaneously in two languages: Malay and English, for the local and international market respectively. Both versions fully utilise different voice actors. In the Malay version, the original voice actor for Upin & Ipin, Nur Fathiah Diaz, was chosen to voice the main character, BoBoiBoy. The series ended after three seasons and was taken up by its sequel, BoBoiBoy Galaxy, starting on 25 November 2016. Unlike any animated TV series in Malaysia, the end credits of the series were written in English instead of Malay, as was done with Ejen Ali.

Further information: List of BoBoiBoy episodes

The first season consists of 13 episodes and one special extended finale episode. It started airing on Sunday, 13 March 2011 on TV3. It was shown on Disney Channel Asia starting 11 June 2011. The episode starts with the main character, BoBoiBoy on a trip to his grandfather Tok Aba's home in Pulau Rintis for the school holidays. At the same time, Adu Du, an alien from the planet of Ata Ta Tiga heads to Earth to search for energy resources. He finds out that there is cocoa, a powerful energy source, which became extinct from his planet about 30,000 years ago. Adu Du wanted to conquer all the cocoa for himself so that he could be a hero for his planet. To make sure his plan succeeded, he sought help from the Power Sphere (Ochobot). However, a series of mishaps occur and BoBoiBoy obtained Ochobot instead who gave BoBoiBoy and his new friends, Ying, Hanna, and Gopal, superpowers. Every episode is 22-minutes long and consists of part 1 and 2, each last for 11 minutes. Due to the cartoon's popularity, Animonsta Studios agreed to re-air the final episode with an "Extended Finale" on 1 January 2012.

The second season consists of 13 episodes, it was aired on Sunday, 27 May 2012 on TV3. In this season, BoBoiBoy begins a new chapter of his life as he moves to Pulau Rintis to reunite with Tok Aba Bin Abah Kau, Gopal, Ying and Yaya. The story in this season mainly centres on BoBoiBoy and his friends' lives at Pulau Rintis Primary School. BoBoiBoy also encounters a new challenger, Fang at his new school. Fang or Mystery Boy was first introduced in Season 1 on the Extended Finale episode. In the Season 2 finale, BoBoiBoy's friends along with Fang fight a powerful alien named Ejo Jo who plans to steal all their power watches.

The third season consists of 23 episodes, originally airing from January 2014 to June 2016. In this season, BoBoiBoy defeats Ejo Jo, and Adu Du becomes BoBoiBoy's friend. Their friendship however, does not last throughout the season. Boboiboy also gets his new Fire and Water Elemental powers. This is the first season that uploaded new episodes onto YouTube before airing on TV. It is also the first season to change the theme song, switching out "BoBoiBoy Superhero Kita" (transl. BoBoiBoy, Our Superhero!) with "Jagalah Bumi" by Kotak.

He attempts to conquer Earth to seize the planet's cocoa but was frequently stopped by BoBoiBoy and his friends. During Ejo Jo's attack, Probe was destroyed and Adu Du lured Ejo Jo into his base to avenge Probe. After successfully driving away Ejo Jo, Adu Du attempts to fix Probe but failed. He ended up trying to behave nicely to find ways to revive Probe which was then successful. When his mother comes and angers with Adu Du behaving nicely, and gets hurt accidentally by BoBoiBoy, he switches side against BoBoiBoy once more.

Probe imagines himself a living creature and does things that humans do like humming and sleeping. In Season 2, he was destroyed by Ejo Jo's battle robot to protect Adu Du.

Ochobot Muhammad Fathi Bin Diaz The Generation 9 Power Sphere found by Adu Du. Initially mistaking BoBoiBoy as its master, Ochobot grants BoBoiBoy his Elemental Power Watch before his friends and Fang in the second season.

Multi-Monster (S1E3-E4) Anas Abdul Aziz Originally a single, giant monster created to defeat BoBoiBoy, Multi-Monster has the ability to split into two every time he is defeated but gets smaller in the process. The Multi-Monsters then switch sides and helped BoBoiBoy and his friends escape from Adu Du's spaceship. Later, they set up their own village at the toxic waste where they first fought BoBoiBoy.

Ejo Jo (Season 2, Episode 1, 3, 10, 12–13; Season 3, Episode 1–2) Noriman Saffian Adu Du's former neighbour and classmate, as well as Adu Du's loyal bully. He was born into the second class family within the Ata Ta Tiga community and was an elite soldier in the army before he was dismissed due to arrogance. He drove Adu Du away from his own village and exiled him to Atata Tiga. After finding out about Adu Du's operations on Earth, he arrives on Earth to fight against BoBoiBoy and his friends with a desire of taking all of the Earth's powers for himself.
Ejo Jo's Computer (Season 2, Episode 10, 12–13; Season 3, Episode 1–2) Kee Yong Pin Ejo Jo's computer with a male voice that is more advanced than Adu Du's Computer and can collect more accurate information.
PETAI (Ejo Jo's Robot) With complete name Perisai Tempur Angkasa-I (Battle Space Robot-I), PETAI is a more advanced version of Probe, because it is the final product of the Battle Robot developed.

Three Rob An incompetent group of robbers composed of Rob, Robert and Roberto who usually rob items that are deemed useless usually (laundry, goalposts, etc.). Despite this, they manage to escape prison (the first two times, however, were thanks to Adu Du).
