Spliced is a Canadian animated television series produced by Teletoon and Nelvana. It premiered in Latin America on Jetix on April 20, 2009. The series currently airs in Canada on Teletoon, in the United States on qubo, in Australia on ABC3, in the United Kingdom on Nicktoons, in Latin America on Disney XD, and in Sweden on Nickelodeon. The series began airing in the United States on qubo on September 19, 2009 until the network dropped it from its lineup on October 24, 2009 but returned on September 28, 2010 as part of its "Night Owl" block.

Plot

Spliced tells the story of mutants that are the result of genetic experiments created by recombinant DNA. They live in an isolated tropical island called Keep Away Island (recalling The Island of Dr. Moreau) somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The mad scientist who created them was arrested for crimes against nature and good taste and removed by authorities via boat. Left to their own devices, the mutated beasts form a society based on what little they know about humanity from television, radio, and comics.

Characters

Peri

Peri (short for failed exPERIment number 13) is a mutant spliced from a squirrel, a squid, a butterfly and a gumball machine who does not know what his purpose in life is. Every mutant on the island was spliced together with a purpose in mind. Everyone that is, except Peri. His body is extremely elastic, as shown in a few episodes. His home is a plane that crashed on the island. He enjoys bowling and playing a wild game called "bucket-stick-fruit-ball" with his best friend Entrée that always ends with someone being hurt. He cannot read, spell or write. Peri is voiced by Rob Stefaniuk.

Entrée

Entrée (named in reference to the food course) is the best friend of Peri. He is a mutant that is part cow, pig, chicken, and shrimp. He was created for the purpose of being eaten. His home is a giant pizza oven and his bed is a barbecue grill. Entrèe is very susceptible to evil, most of the time he ends up causing more destruction than Mr. Smarty Smarts. He has a special word "poosh" which makes him follow any order anyone gives him (which could be another purpose the mad doctor gave him). He's usually the main target for Joe's two-legged stomp. He is fond of food, especially mayonnaise, in fact in one episode he tried to have a diet that included only this. His obsession leads him to eat inedible objects on several occasions. He is also the most delicious animal on the planet. He cannot read, spell or write. Entrèe is voiced by Joe Pingue.

Two-Legs Joe

Two-legs Joe is an armless rhinoceros with a bird 'stuck on his butt'. He's the mayor of the city, which ends up being destroyed most of the time. He's always stomping Peri, Entrèe and Mr. Smarty Smarts whenever any of them cause destruction to the city. He also has some sort of control of the sun and gravity through his stomps. He was also the first mutant to be created. The bird on his back is later revealed to be called "Lord Wingus Eternum". Two-legs Joe is voiced by Pat McKenna.

Lord Wingus Eternum

Lord Wingus Eternum(for short) is the bird that is believed to live on Two-Legs Joe behind until in a later episode() Wingus tells Two-Legs Joe the story of how Joe actually grew on his feet. He is the would-be king of the other birds of his kind but was banished(opposed to having Joe clipped off) and has been living on Joe's butt in a vow of silence. Wingus is voiced by Tom McCamus.

Patricia

Patricia is simply a platypus that happened to live on Keep Away Island when the Doctor set up shop. She has a raindrop-shaped body, and her tail is literally depicted as that of a beaver, unlike a real platypus. She feels very lonely on Keep Away Island being the only creature that is not spliced. While very intelligent, she's not very sure of herself. She is usually quiet, but she gets extremely aggressive when angry. She lives in the city in a fairly orderly tiny house. She is an author and has been shown writing a book of poetry as well as the novel: "Marzipan Meadows and the Kingdom of Adventure" (a parody of Indiana Jones). She is a master of the martial art "Plat Kwon Do". Patricia is voiced by Katie Crown.

Princess Pony Apehands

Princess Pony Apehands is an huge mutant with the mind and vocabulary of very few things, and very few words. She was formed by splicing the head and tail of a pony onto the body of a gorilla. She is one of the more aggressive mutants, but she doesn't quite understand how big and strong she is and often hurts when she is simply trying to play with them or give them a hug. Her tree house is located deep in the forest and is completely pink inside, and she herself is colored pink and purple. She wears a ballet tutu and slippers and is enjoys very girly things. Although she's a girl, her voice is quite masculine and deep. Princess Pony Apehands is voiced by Kedar Brown.

Compuhorse

Compuhorse used to be a horse until one day a computer got embedded in his guts when a computer factory exploded on the island. He is very knowledgeable. He has very limited animation, for example: He cannot move his lips but speaks similarly to Stephen Hawking, with a synthesized voice through his keyboard. His best friend is Calcupony and his rival is AlphaDonkey. In the virtual game "Cube Whacker" he's known as OmegaSteed. OmegaSteed is voiced by Mark Dailey.

Fuzzy Snuggums

Fuzzy is a small explorer seeking adventure beyond the island but always fails. He appears to be the mix of a chick, a piglet, and a rabbit. He's in search of a land called Amazotopia (possible parody of Amazonas and Atlantis). He often begins talking with the phrase "Expedition note...". Long ago, Fuzzy was chosen by the doctor to combat against robots of another scientist from another island, but could not be stopped and was later reassigned for exploration. At that time, his opening sentence was "Execution note..." (demonstrated in the episode "Sgt Snuggums"). The Doctor made him indestructible, which is fortunate, considering that Peri and Entrée are always using him painfully, and that his exploration attempts usually backfire upon him painfully. It has been revealed by Lord Wingus (the bird on Two-Legs Joe's butt) that were Joe to never get angry again, Fuzzy would rule the island, enslaving all of its occupants. Though usually small and cute, Fuzzy's true form personality, which can resurface under extreme circumstances, is that of a giant, musclebound brawler. Fuzzy Snuggums is voiced by Julie Lemieux.

Mister Smarty Smarts

Mister Smarty Smarts is a dolphin, chimp and a Jack Russell Terrier with a well-developed primate brain, who attempts to take over the island along with his assistant Octocat. His lair is located on a slope of the volcano, where he and Octocat invent all kinds of creations and can see what's happening on the rest of the island through a number of cameras. He thinks the rest of the mutants are fools, believing himself superior, but often ends up feeling lonely. His plans are always thwarted by the stupidity of Peri and Entrèe (Entrèe is always referred to as "other" or "whats his face" by Smarts, because he can't remember his name) or to be crushed by Two-Legs Joe. He is always looking for an excuse to wear a dress. Mister Smarty Smarts is voiced by Mike Kiss.

Octocat

Octocat is a mutant, resulting from the cross between a cat and an octopus. She is Mister Smarty Smarts's assistant and the two of them share a Parent and Teenage Daughter relationship. She bakes exquisite Octocupcakes. She and Smarts met after they both crashed their cars together. Unlike the other mutants, she cannot talk, conversing solely in meows, but the others are still able to understand her. Like Fuzzy, she too was created to be a super-soldier, and can also assume a musclebound fighting form. Octocat is "voiced" by Katie Crown.
