Chuggington
Encyclopedia
Chuggington is an international computer-animated
television series for children produced by Ludorum plc and broadcast in 175 territories throughout the world including the BBC
children's channel CBeebies
. Chuggington currently airs on the Disney Channel Disney Junior’s preschool block in the United States.
The series is set in the fictional town of Chuggington, and follows the adventures of three young novice railway locomotives, (or "Trainees"), named Wilson, Brewster and Koko. Throughout each episode the Trainees learn the value of loyal friendship, telling the truth, listening carefully, persisting under adversity, completing tasks, resolving conflict without violence, and many similar important life values. In the show, the locomotives, called "Chuggers", are all intelligent, empathetic, independent and self-directed, with mobile facial features. None of the Chuggers are ever seen to have a crew, although there are several human characters that the Chuggers interact with regularly. They tend to talk in ways that emphasize their distinct personalities.
The town of Chuggington has a central area of large modern buildings; some of the scenes go out into countryside which includes a farm, a safari park and a quarry. There are at least 4 railway tunnels, marked by different colours, under the town centre which can be used by all trains. The backgrounds and scenery are all computer-generated
, and there are turning-camera and moving-camera shots. "Old Chuggington", an apparently abandoned old town overgrown with wild vegetation, is often mentioned and sometimes visited.

and Thomas and Friends. The core creative team behind Chuggington consists of Sarah Ball, a producer/director who had worked on Bob the Builder, and Don Toht who designed the characters and sets.
The computer animation
was produced using Autodesk Maya software.
As well as the regular 10 minute episodes Chuggington Badge Quest, a collection of 4 minute shorter shows, has been produced. These focus on the "Trainees" efforts to earn various reward badges as part of their "Chugger" training.
Three Chuggington specials have been commissioned for release on DVD from 2013 onwards.

In the UK, several children's books are in the works, including Koko on Call: A Nightlight Adventure, based on an early episode. Publications International and Scholastic introduced Chuggington books to the U.S. market in late 2010 and early 2011, respectively.
Later in 2010, the interactive range was released in the UK. The chuggers and Vee, their dispatcher, can interact with each other using 'Smart Talk' technology and over 300 stored phrases. Each chugger can recognize the other chuggers, and their train stops. The interactive phrases spoken depend on which chuggers and locations are placed together, giving a far more varied, but not random, conversation. The Chuggington Interactive Railway was released in the United States in February 2011.
In September 2010, the Chuggington Wooden Railway was released to Canada, and on March 1, 2011 the Chuggington Wooden Railway was released to specialty retailers in the United States. The Chuggington Wooden Railway is compatible with all other wooden railway systems. Chuggington also announced that in late 2011, there will be a Mega Bloks

Educational philosophy
Throughout each episode the Trainees learn the value of loyal friendship, telling the truth, listening carefully, persisting under adversity, completing tasks, resolving conflict without violence, and many similar important life values. The chuggers have real-life emotional strengths and weaknesses, too. Through all their adventures, they strive to use their strengths for the good of the community and to deal effectively but realistically with their personal foibles. Much of the time, such dealing involves good humour and personal understanding.Merchandise
