Happy Monster Band (branded as Happy Monster Band: World Tour in season 2) is an animated children's television series that originally aired on Playhouse Disney from October 1, 2007, to October 28, 2008. The series was created by Don Carter and produced by Kickstart Productions. It is about a group of monsters who perform songs about friendship, love, exercise, chores, and other preschool themes.

Characters

Main

There are four monsters that make up the Happy Monster Band: Ink, Bluz, L.O., and Frred. Each of the monster's name reflects its color: Ink's signature color is pink, Bluz's is blue, L.O.'s is yellow and Frred's is red. They were designed by Don Carter. All four of the band members are children, but their singing voices are those of the members of the band Tally Hall. In the UK version, children's voices are used for the singing portions.
