Description:  The Popples cartoon centers on fuzzy, colorful creatures called Popples who can roll into balls to travel or hide. The 2015 Netflix series, like the original 1980s version, follows a group of Popple friends (like Lulu, Sunny, Bubbles, Izzy, and Yikes) who use their unique abilities and a lot of humor to help their human friends, often with comically chaotic results that they must fix in time. The Popples live in a treehouse and have pouches on their backs that can produce an endless supply of items.

Premise: The show's main premise is that the well-meaning Popples' attempts to help often lead to trouble, and the rest of the episode is about them working to fix their messes before the adults find out.

Characters: The main characters in the 2015 series include the Popple friends: Lulu, Sunny, Bubbles, Izzy, and Yikes. The original series featured a different cast and focused on the adventures of the Popples living with two human siblings, Billy and Bonnie Wagner.

Unique abilities: The Popples' defining features are their ability to roll into a ball and their expandable pouches on their backs, from which they can pull out a wide variety of objects, says Wikipedia and Fandom.

Franchise history: The Popples were first introduced as a toy line in the mid-1980s and spawned the original cartoon series from 1986 to 1988. The franchise has been revived several times since, with a new animated series premiering on Netflix in 2015.
