YooHoo to the Rescue is an Italian-Korean animated children's television series produced by Aurora World and Mondo TV. It is the third TV series based on the YooHoo & Friends franchise, and serves as a revival of the franchise. The show is the first Netflix original series for children from South Korea.[2]
In a series of magical missions, quick-witted YooHoo and his can-do crew travel the globe to help animals in need. It was released March 15, 2019 on Netflix.[4]
YooHoo to the Rescue follows the adventures of five animal friends who live in the magical land of YooTopia, a land far outside the Milky Way. In each episode, they travel to a new destination to help animals in trouble and make new friends along the way. When there is a problem on YooTopia, the colorful fruits of the Sparkling Tree begin to fade. The friends get their special gadgets and board their ship Wonderbug, a ladybug-like aircraft. They use wit, teamwork, and special gadgets to solve problems and help animals in need. Over the course of their adventures, they learn fun facts about a wide variety of environments and make friends with animals.[5]
