Bottersnikes & Gumbles on Netflix

You’ll want to head to Netflix with your kids today.  Why?  Because Netflix’s newest series for kids, “ Bottersnikes & Gumbles” has just been released!  The “Bottersnikes & Gumbles” series is all about a fantasy kingdom of rusting junk and abandoned things from the human world, based on a beloved series of children’s books.  I was lucky enough to screen this show early and I give it two thumbs up!  I loved how they brought a book series to life with fun animations so that an entirely new generation of kids can experience the magic and fantasy of the Bottersnikes & Gumbles!

I’m not the only one who enjoyed the show.  Bottersnikes & Gumbles earned this year’s Pulcinella Award for Best Kids TV Series at the international animation festival, Cartoons on the Bay, in Venice and was nominated for a Logie Award in Australia for Most Outstanding Children’s Program!

The show is recommended for ages 6-9 and I think that is super appropriate.  The characters on this show get into some fun adventures and humorous situations, but the dialogue is a little much for the younger kids.

Do you think you will like the Gumbles or the Bottersnikes better?  Here are a few fun facts about both:

Meet the Gumbles:

  • The Gumbles are Tink, Willi, Bounce, Happi, Merry, Float, Jolli and Toot
  • They live on The Junk Highway in a Gumble Tree with an old school bus on it
  • They are fun loving, resourceful thrill seekers who can squash and stretch into any direction
  • Gumbles like gumbling around which is an extreme and exciting cross between parkour, free climbing and base jumping
  • Their favorite snack is grubs

Meet the Bottlesnikes:

  • The Bottersnikes are The King, Chank, Weathersnike, Gubbo, Smiggles, Glob and Snorg
  • They live in Snike Hill and are ruled by The King Bottersnike
  • They’re mean spirited, selfish, lazy, stinky, mostly evil creatures
  • They’re half the size of a human adult, with hard scaly skin, sharp teeth, claws and ears that glow red hot when they get angry, which is most of the time 😉
  • Bottlesnikes eat junk, rusty nails, but their favorite food is mattress stuffing
  • They are afraid of water because they shrink when they get wet

    I have not heard of this book series or show before. I think it’s something my grandson would like.

    I wish we had Netflix but can’t afford the extra expense right now. This sounds like a great show my grandsons would love to watch!

    I’ve never heard of this, but the animation looks great. I should mention this to my cousins. I’m sure they’d love it.
