Spliced is a Canadian animated television series produced by Teletoon and Nelvana. It premiered in Latin America on Jetix on April 20, 2009.[3] The series currently airs in Canada on Teletoon,[4] in Australia on ABC3,[5][6] in the United Kingdom on Nicktoons, in Latin America on Disney XD and in Sweden on Nickelodeon. The series aired in the United States on qubo from September 19, 2009 - October 24, 2009.[7]

Plot

Spliced tells the story of mutants that are the result of genetic experiments. They live in an isolated tropical 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.[3]

Left to right, top to bottom: Princess Pony, Mister Smarty Smarts, Joe, Patricia, Peri and Entrèe

Peri

Peri (short for failed exPERIment number 13) is a mutant spliced from an unknown rodent (possibly a red squirrel) and some kind of cephalopod (possibly a cuttle fish) who does not know what his raison d'etre 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 a wild improvised game called "bucket-stick-fruit-ball" that always ends with someone being hurt. His best friend is Entree. Peri is voiced by Rob Stefaniuk.

Entrèe

Entrèe (French for enter) is the best friend of Peri. He is a mutant that is part cow, pig, chicken, tuna, and shrimp.[4] 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 walks on his udders. Entree is also the most delicious animal on the planet. 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. The bird on his back is later revealed to be called "Lord Wingus Eternum", a Zen master who doesn't like talking in public, and who claims that Joe is actually stuck to his feet. Two-legs Joe is voiced by Pat McKenna while Wingus is voiced by Tom McCamus.

Patricia

Patricia is simply a platypus with a raindrop-shaped body, she's the only non-mutant on the island as the doctor was probably arrested before he could splice her with anything. She feels very lonely in Keep Away Island being the only one of her kind. While very intelligent, she's not very sure of herself. Although usually quiet, she gets very aggressive if angry - when she really loses her temper, she screams "Patricia smash!" and pummels the object of her anger. She lives in the city in a fairly orderly tiny house. She appears to be writing a book of poetry as well as the novel: "Marzipan Meadows and the Kingdom of Adventure" (parody of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). 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 immense mutant with the mind and vocabulary of a six-year old. She was formed by splicing the head and tail of a pony onto the body of a gorilla.[4] She may be considered one of the more aggressive mutants, owing to not quite understanding how big and strong she is and inadvertently hurting others with her antics. Her tree house is located deep in the forest and completely pink inside. She wears a ballet tutu and slippers. Although she's a girl, her voice is quite masculine and deep. Princess Pony Ape Hands is voiced by Kedar Brown.

Compuhorse

Compuhorse used to be a horse until one day a computer got imbedded 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. In the virtual game "Cube Whacker" he's known as OmegaSteed. His best friend is Calcupony and his rival is AlphaDonkey. It is unknown who his voice actor is, but OmegaSteed is voiced by Mark Dailey

Fuzzy Snuggems

Fuzzy is a small explorer seeking adventure beyond the island but always fails. 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 his exploration attempts usually backfire upon him painfully. It has been revealed by Lord Wingus ( the bird on Two Legs Joe's back ) 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 Snuggems 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,[4] 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 his assistant invent all kinds of creations and can see what happens in 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 Entree (the latter always referred to as "other" or "whats his face" by Smarts, because he does not care or 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 (although it is shown that they share a romantic relationship of some sort). 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. It is unknown who her voice actor is.

Minor Characters

  • Aperitif - The villainous twin brother of Entrèe. He was frozen in a refrigerator but got thawed out by Entrèe and Peri. During his premiere episode, he acted as a nice guy, but secretly, without Entrèe knowing, he devoured everyone. Entrèe discovered the truth and tried to free his friends but ended up being eaten by Aperitif. He had everyone push against Aperitif's stomach, causing Aperitif to be turned inside out. He was then put in the refrigerator again. Aperitif is voiced by Juan Chioran.
  • Pinnians - Aliens who resemble bowling pins. They came to Keep-Away island to enslave the residents. They were no match for Peri's bowling technique though.

  • Melvin - A Squirrel/Bird mutant who wears braces. He was originally thought to be a monster by Peri and Entrèe when a bottle stuck on their heads made Melvin's little footprints look huge.

Later he saved Peri and Entrèe from Mister Smarty Smarts and Octocat (who had shrunk them). He helped Peri to try to free Joe, Partrica, Princess Pony Apehands, and the town, but was scared off by Mister Smarty Smarts with Partrica's lawn mower. But returned with the other mole-sters to form Mole-Tron. Later, insteed of bringing the other mutants to there real size, he made him self bigger, and used Entrèe to clean his arm pits. Sid is voiced by David Berni.

  • Yetis - Huge white monsters that invade the island. They first appeard in "Livin' La Vida Lava" when the lava ran out, but were repeld when Doug fixed the volcano. The next time they invaded the island was when Entrèe water skied the island to The Arctic. Entrèe then joined them, but ran away when he thought they were going to eat him. But when Entrèe and the others returned the island to the Pacific, it turned out that the yetis where going to have a welcoming barbacue.
