Ellen's Acres is an American animated television series for preschool-age children, which exclusively premiered weekly on Cartoon Network and in the United Kingdom, the show airs on Cartoonito. Animation Collective produces the series. It originally aired on September 29, 2006 on Cartoon Network in the United States, airing at 9:30 am ET/PT, but has been pulled from the schedule as of February 5, 2007. The show features a very imaginative five-year-old child named Ellen who has adventures in a hotel her parents own approximately 40 miles from Tonopah, Nevada named the Emerald Acres (hence the show's title).

Each episode begins with Ellen narrating the adventure she had in her imagination, but she says, "Actually...", and the scene changes to a desert area, and Ellen says, "I had just gotten off the bus from school and was saying goodbye to Mateo, my bus driver." She turns to the bus and waves goodbye to the unseen driver who closes the bus doors, honks the horn twice, and drives off.

Ellen then says hello to her friend, a tire and carries a feather duster, two useful props in her adventures, then takes them to the hotel offices, where mom and/or dad ask how school was, and Ellen explains the first adventure. Ellen then sees what her parents are up to (finding a fossil, fixing a fan because the air conditioning broke, etc.) which leads into further imaginary adventures based on chores she's been asked to do.

Ellen – A five-year-old girl who moved to Nevada with her mom and dad and has a very vivid imagination. She has orange hair, a gap in her tooth, carries a backpack (much like Dora the Explorer or Mac from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends,) wears a light green T-shirt with a daisy, a denim skirt, a pair of mismatched socks (one with two green stripes on her left leg and one with a red and blue stripe on the right leg) and black mary jane shoes. Born in Los Angeles, California, Ellen plays with a Hercules 17 steel-reinforced all-season tire she befriended in nursery school and a mauve-colored hypo allergenic feather duster as her playthings, theatrical company and posse. Emily Corrao is the voice of Ellen.
