Clay Kids

Characters

Clay Kids is a Spanish stop-motion animated series from creator Javier Tostado. It follows the adventures of seven misfit children exploring everyday life in their clay town. Produced by Clay Animation and distributed by Cake Entertainment, the show aired from July 5, 2013, to August 14, 2015. The characters' mouths are synced to English speech because, as the producers explained, Spanish audiences are accustomed to dubbed television and do not mind the lack of lip-sync that might bother English viewers.

The main characters include Flippy, voiced by Michael Derry in English and Ignasi Diaz in Spanish. He is a troublemaker who dislikes studying but loves rapping and video games, and he considers himself popular, attractive, and funny. He is close friends with Robbie. Motor, voiced by Mark Allen Jr. in English and Jose Garcia in Spanish, is a gamer and amateur DJ.

He lacks good manners and often unintentionally offends others. Motor is paralyzed on his left side and uses a motorized wheelchair. Carol, voiced by Karen Strassman in English and Julia Sorli in Spanish, is highly intelligent and dedicated to saving the planet. She is a good, responsible student but not popular with classmates, and she is good friends with Albert.

Robbie, voiced by David Markus in English and Ximo Solano in Spanish, is the oldest in his class, having repeated a grade three times. He has a rebellious attitude and an interest in graffiti, often acting as an antagonist who teases his peers, though he maintains a close friendship with Flippy. Naomi, voiced by Natalie Mitchell in English and Marina Vinals in Spanish, is a wealthy girl who is materialistic and judgmental. She enjoys texting and shopping, and she wants to be part of the popular crowd but is excluded from their clique.

Jessi, voiced by Quinn Kitmitto in English and Vero Andres in Spanish, is a 13-year-old who is naive and childlike. She is very kind, loves skateboarding, and gets along with everyone. Albert, voiced by M.J. Lallo in English and Cristina Soler in Spanish, is the shortest character. He is smart and enjoys art, science, astronomy, and reading poetry. He falls in love easily and quickly, and he has many allergies and asthma.

Secondary characters include Frank, voiced by Michael Derry in English and Jose Manuel Casany in Spanish, who is Carol's father and manages the Cyber Cafe, and he likes computer games. Ms. Henderson, voiced by Susan Haight in English and Julia Sorli in Spanish, is the teacher. The Principal, voiced by Mark Allen Jr. in English and Jose Manuel Casany in Spanish, appears in some episodes. Doctor Ed, voiced by David Marcus in English and Jose Manuel Casany in Spanish, also appears in some episodes.

The series has two seasons, each with 26 episodes, for a total of 52 episodes. A mobile app game called Talking Clay Kids was released for iOS and Android between September and November 2013, made by My Talking Toys. In Brazil, Gloob held a preview on June 29, 2013, and the series officially premiered on July 5, 2013. In the UK, it aired on Pop and CBBC, moving to Pop Max on June 1, 2015.

Reruns continued on Kix until late 2017, with the final airing on August 14, 2015. The last rerun on Pop Max was on August 28, 2017. On November 16, 2024, the full series became available on Patreon.
