The Fixies

The Fixies are a beloved animated series featuring tiny, human-like creatures who secretly live inside household appliances and gadgets, keeping them in perfect working order. The show follows the adventures of Tom Thomas, a curious boy who befriends Simka and Nolik, two Fixie children, as they navigate the humorous challenges of fixing machines before others find out. The Fixies combine education and fun by blending 3D and 2D animation to explore how everyday technology works, making it a hit with kids and parents alike for its focus on STEM themes.

Originating from Russia, The Fixies started as a children’s cartoon created by Aeroplane Studios and debuted in 2010. The characters are characterized by glowing hair, big hands, and a secret symbol they flash—a gesture with three fingers—to communicate. This series has inspired several music albums with catchy songs that explain mechanical concepts in a fun, sing-along way, such as "Sing with the Fixies!" and "Fix It!" The Fixies have grown popular worldwide, combining storytelling with educational content to spark curiosity and teach kids about the technology in their everyday lives.
