Wonderblocks


Wonderblocks is a British animated television series for preschoolers that debuted on CBeebies on 20 January 2025. The series follows the adventures of block characters in Wonderland, each one being part of a different group. Together with the series Alphablocks, Numberblocks and Colourblocks, it is a part of the "Blocks Universe". Commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation, the programme was created by Joe Elliot and Tom Box, and produced by Alphablocks Ltd. with Blue Zoo Animation Studio.
Thirty episodes have aired. As of the 2023 plan, the series was scheduled for production up to 2027, per an agreement between the Alphablocks Ltd. and Blue Zoo, and BBC. They started making the show in 2015 June.
According to the Blue-Zoo website, the show was pitched in 2020 just before the lockdown, five years prior to its release and one year prior to Colourblocks starting production in 2021.

Premise

The programme aims to teach children about coding, thinking skills and problem solving. The main characters are two friends Go and Stop, who help their animal friends in their everyday life.
Most of the time, the characters work with Do-Blocks: which are the functions in coding. Go and Stop hold hands with them to make a script: for example, Go, Hop, and Stop hold hands and they make the script “Go-Hop-Stop”! They also work with Again to make loops.

Characters

Main

  • Go is a green, circular Wonderblock with white borders. She also has dark green limbs and freckles. She is hyperactive, silly, on the spectrum, and loves to make things go go go. She can get carried away sometimes. Go is best friends with Stop.
  • Stop is a red, octagonal Wonderblock with white borders whose shape resembles a stop sign. She also has dark red limbs and thick eyebrows. She is patient, considerate, and calm, and her catchphrase is “let’s stop and think things through” when someone gets things a bit messy. Stop is best friends with Go.
  • Again is a yellow, triangular Wonderblock with white borders. He also has dark yellow limbs. He is energetic and up and loves to make things go again and again.
