Talking Tom and Friends (known as Talking Friends until late 2014) is a media franchise created and owned by Outfit7 Limited. The franchise focuses on various mobile apps involving anthropomorphic animal characters repeating things said by the user. The first app, Talking Tom Cat, launched in July 2010. As of February 2019, the apps have achieved more than 9 billion downloads.[1]

Characters

  • Talking Tom is a gray tabby cat and title character of the franchise.[2] Tom is a wisecracking, adventure-seeking cat, described as the "world's most popular cat."[3] In his app, he is a fully animated interactive 3D character that users can tickle, poke and play with in the apps. Users can also get Tom to repeat what they say.[4] The original Talking Tom Cat app was launched in July 2010 for iOS, closely followed by Talking Tom 2 in 2011. Talking Tom 2 is briefly featured in Nine Lives.
  • Talking Angela is Tom's love interest, a stylish but short-tempered white cat with a love of travel and singing.[5][6] Angela has also appeared in other apps in Outfit7's flagship entertainment franchise: Tom's Love Letters and Tom Loves Angela.
  • Talking Ginger is a mischievous, fun-loving kitten.[7] In the Talking Tom and Friends web series, he is Tom's neighbor.
  • Talking Ben is a brown dog who is described in his Talking Ben the Dog app as "a grumpy dog and chemistry professor". He enjoys working in the lab and the player can tickle him and make him do phone calls, or retreat to the lab where he does experiments that sometimes explodes.[8]
  • Talking Hank is a white dog with blue spots (one on his right eye, one on his tail tip, and the other on his rear). He was introduced in December 2014 with the premiere of the Talking Tom and Friends web series. His hobby is watching sitcoms.
  • Talking Pierre is a green bird with a yellow beak who is quite grumpy and annoying. He was mainly a character who provided comic relief in the Talking Friends webisodes, just like Hank.[9]
