Alphablocks is a British CGI-animated children's educational television programme that is designed to teach children how to spell with the use of animated blocks representing each letter. It is animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd. Once the Alphablocks discover that whenever they make a word it comes to life, many new adventures in Alphaland can be created. This is meant to help preschool children with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading and writing.
Characters
| Name | Main Colour | Information | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Light and dark green | She likes to sing and help the other vowels. She has a plaster (Band-Aid) on her cheek and apples keep falling on her head. In "Prank" she discovered a red clown nose and played jokes on all of the other Alphablocks. | ||||
| E | Red | He is the busiest letter in the alphabet. His 'eh's echo from the megaphone he uses. He also becomes Magic E who is red with a top hat and a black ninja outfit to make the other vowels say their names. There is also Silent E. He has the same look as Magic E, but he does not wear a top hat. In "Sleep" all he wanted to do is to rest his sleepy head, but the other Alphablocks had other plans in mind. | ||||
| I | Fuchsia | Her singing can be too loud sometimes but the Alphablocks really like her singing. She is also self-absorbed and thinks she is the most important letter (reflecting the use of 'I' to refer to oneself, or the first person). | ||||
| O | Orange | He does not speak, only being able to make his "o" sound, but he likes to investigate lots of things with his magnifying glass. | ||||
| U | Light blue with blue shoes | He wears square glasses and is quite moody. He usually says words like unfair and unbelievable. | Chloe | Red | She is only one anthropomorphic vehicle that she grounds the vowels for 500 years and she likes to go to sleep. |
