animated
television series
based on the Warner Bros.
film Osmosis Jones
and it was produced by Warner Bros. Animation
. It takes place inside the body of teenager Hector Cruz (referred to by the characters as "the City of Hector"). The series premiered on September 14, 2002 on the Kids' WB
; the final episode aired July 5, 2004. Unlike the original movie it spun off from, Ozzy & Drix was entirely animated and contained no live action. It stars Phil LaMarr
as the replacement for Chris Rock
as Osmosis Jones, and Jeff Bennett
as the replacement for David Hyde Pierce
as Drix. As of July 2011, episodes of the series are still available via the Kids WB website.
The show also aired on Teletoon
in Canada.
The show is also slightly less violent than the movie, having the characters treated like people rather than simply cells, and having none of them killed off, unlike the movie where Thrax managed to kill off several cells.
, Ozzy and Drix chase a scarlet fever
bacterium. While doing that, Ozzy, Drix and the germ get sucked up from Frank by a mosquito
and arrive on young 13-year old boy named Hector Cruz's body. Installed as Private Investigator

) - An urban and funky white blood cell
with little respect for authority. He works as a private-eye in the city of Hector. He and Drix were originally from the city of Frank, the character portrayed in the movie, although they were transferred to Hector through a mosquito while chasing a scarlet fever virus aptly named Scarlet. As most crime-fighting heroes do, Ozzy has a nearly unlimited amount of smart remarks that he uses frequently when fighting viruses, as well as sarcasm for anyone else.
Agent "Drixobensometapetramine"/"Drix" Koldriliff (Jeff Bennett) - A straight-laced and by-the-book cold pill and Ozzy's fellow private eye. They have an office inside Hector's left retina
("prime real estate"). His right arm is a multi-launcher which launches various chemical containers stored in his torso though the most common is an ice pill which freezes villains. The right arm also contains a phone, and other gadgets including an eggbeater (apparently the only thing the arm can't do is make a decent milkshake),and a crude clamp-like claw usable as a hand. Drix's cautiousness and complete honesty (making him quite gullible), puts him at odds with the devil-may-care Ozzy. He often tries to "fit in" with the other cells in the body, usually failing to comprehend the concepts.
Hector Cruz (a.k.a. The City of Hector) (Justin Cowden) - The Cuban American
teenager that the show revolves around. He is foolhardy, a risk taker, and somewhat ignorant, all probably to further the show's plot. He reminds Ozzy of Frank at Hector's age, reminded him that this was the age where Frank's life took a turn for the worse so decides to stay to prevent that from happening. In one episode when Hector went on a white water rafting trip with his older cousin he got Appendicitis
, he was rushed to a hospital and had surgery. Hector has a dog named Uno, an older sister, and a mother and father. In another episode Hector learned a lesson in proper dental hygiene when he got a cavity
from eating too much sugar.
