Meet the Characters: . Wubbzy is a curious little guy with a bendy tail who spends his days chasing flutterflies, eating ice cream cones, and playing games of hippity-hopscotch. All Wubbzy wants to do is play, play, play, but when he has a problem, he relies on the help and advice of his two best pals-Widget and Walden. . Widget is a mechanical whiz who builds amazing machines in her fix-it shop. She's always ready to jump in and lend a hand while reciting her favorite phrase, "No problemo, little buddy." . Walden is a quirky intellectual who has a passionate curiosity about everything and a unique way of looking at the world. Whenever he faces a challenge, he tells himself to "think, think, think!"
