Higglytown Heroes has built a real following in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus among viewers who do not usually seek out animation. 3 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 20 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. The visual style is immediately recognisable, but the writing is what keeps you watching. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Higglytown Heroes is worth clearing space for. Higglytown Heroes treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. In the colorful world of Higglytown, four kids and their squirrelly friend learn about the heroes that inhabit their city, from mail carriers and bus drivers to police officers and firefighters. Frankie Ryan Manríquez and Liliana Mumy bring voice work that does more than the format usually asks for. Across 3 seasons (2004–2006), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What makes Higglytown Heroes more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Higglytown Heroes works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. Fans of Blaze and the Monster Machines will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.

Higglytown Heroes wrapped up in 2006, created by Kent Redeker — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
