Julius Jr. is an animated preschool children's television series based on the characters of the Paul Frank brand.[1] Co-produced by American company Saban Brands and Canadian company BrainPower Studio, Julius Jr. aired on Family Channel and Family Jr. on May 12, 2015 in Canada and the Nick Jr. Channel in the United States.[2] The series debuted on September 29, 2013,[3] with the second season premiering on November 3, 2014.[4] The show’s last episode aired on August 9, 2015, when the TV series was taken off the air. In 2019, all online content regarding the show was removed from the Nick Jr. website as well. The show features Elizabeth Daily as the voice of Julius.

On May 1, 2018, Saban Brands sold the rights to the series to Hasbro. The show was previously available on Netflix, but was removed from the streaming service on November 3, 2020. It was added to Crave on August 10, 2022.

Julius Jr. has also been available on Ameba TV and Kartoon Channel but as of March 2024, it has been removed from nearly every streaming website. Season 1 is available on KimCartoon.

Premise

[edit]

The series centers around Julius Jr., a young sock monkey with a penchant for invention. Together with his friends, Worry Bear, Sheree, Clancy, and Ping, they build a playhouse out of a simple cardboard box. But when they walk inside, to their surprise and delight, they discover that ordinary objects magically come to life and amazing adventures are just a door away in a magical hall.

At the end of each episode, an original song is featured. The song shows highlights from the shown episode. Most known songs are "Hey Hey Hey", "Come on, Come On", "Honesty (For You and Me)", "Stronger and Braver", "Big Dance Party", and more.

The Hall of Doors leads the cast to:

  • Icelaska- A parody of Alaska and Iceland.
  • Bugswana- A parody of Botswana
  • Seashelly Islands- Named after seashells.
  • Twirl-a-World- A parody of Twirl-a-Whirl.
  • Castledonia- Named after castles.
  • Sagebrush Farm- Named after the sagebrush plants.
  • Enginopolis- Named after engines.
  • The Invention Dimension- As the name implies, it is where Julius creates all of his various inventions, though in most episodes it is only shown from the outside.
