Created by Martin Baynton and Richard Taylor, the series uses a mix of live-action and computer animation to follow a pair of inquisitive, creative alien siblings as they learn about life on Earth.
The show features a pair of tiny, young alien twin siblings who spend their days exploring the environment where their steam-powered spaceship has landed, in an effort both to learn more about Earth fauna and to try to determine what they themselves will grow up to look like.
WotWots is produced by Pukeko Pictures, a production company founded by Baynton, Taylor, and Tania Rodger.
The puppet-like WotWots characters are animated over live-action footage by the Weta Workshop, the visual effects company founded by Taylor and Rodger, well known for its work on the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
As part of the agreement with production company Pukeko Pictures, American Greetings Properties has signed on to represent the WotWots brand worldwide.
