The show centers around a boy, a girl, a dog, a cat, a mouse, and a piece of cheese, all respectively named after what they are, who live together. The second season premiered in January 2022,[5][2] followed by the third in November 2023.[6]

Characters

Main

  • Boy (voiced by Justin Michael) is an anxious and expressive teenage boy. He is the oldest and tries to be the most mature of the group, but finds himself at odds with his unique siblings. He also likes bobbleheads and hanging out with his five other siblings.
  • Girl (voiced by Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld) is a rambunctious and rebellious teenage girl. She is close to Boy, but challenges his authority. She is rather apathetic, usually being seen on her phone. She enjoys cosplaying as her favorite comic book characters.
  • Dog (voiced by Justin Anselmi) is a male German Shepherd/Jack Russell Terrier mix, according to concept art. He is athletic and active, with a slight streak of immaturity. As he is very obedient, he often has trouble refusing orders, especially from Boy.
  • Cat (voiced by Erica Schroeder) is a female Turkish van who behaves bizarrely and possesses unique abilities. Apart from the episode "Confession Cat", she rarely speaks.
  • Mouse (voiced by Abe Goldfarb) is a male stuffed mouse. He is intelligent and rational, but often makes really crazy and irrational machines as ways to solve problems.
  • Cheese (voiced by Erica Schroeder) is a female anthropomorphic piece of limburger cheese. She is very dramatic and is a diva who enjoys singing, throwing parties and writing fantasy novels.

Many episodes feature minor or one-time characters with voices provided by H.D. Quinn, Laurie Hymes, Samantha Cooper, Ryan Nicolls, Samara Naeymi, Cristina Pitter and Serra Hirsch. Theresa Buchheister was the sole voice director for the English language cast in season 1; Harry Chaskin began directing in season 2.

Production

Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese is produced by Cloudco Entertainment in the United States, WatchNext Media in France, and Kavaleer Productions in Ireland. The series is aimed towards children between the ages of 6 and 12.

The series was known to have been in production since 2006,[8] and was intended to be made for Cartoon Network. In 2011, Cloudco first filed a trademark for its title.[9] Originally it was to be produced by Cloudco Entertainment along with Mercury Filmworks in Canada, as per an agreement by the Writers' Guild of Canada.[10][11] The trademark expired in 2014 and was renewed, with Disney XD and Teletoon as the networks intending to air the series as of 2015, but it expired again in 2017.[12]

The first season premiered on October 31, 2019, the second on January 3, 2022,[13] and the third on November 20, 2023.[14][15]
