Henry Hugglemonster is an Irish-British-American 3D computer-animated television series produced by Brown Bag Films. It is based on the best selling book I'm a Happy Hugglewug written and illustrated by Niamh Sharkey. The series premiered on Disney Junior channels in the United Kingdom and Ireland on February 8, 2013 and in the United States on April 15. It aired in 2015 on the afternoon Disney Junior segment on Disney Channel in Canada. On July 16, 2016, Lara Jill Miller (the voice of Henry) tweeted that the series has finished production after two seasons.
The series revolves around the daily life of a yellow monster named Henry Hugglemonster and his slightly anarchic but loving family, living in the suburban town of Roarsville. Other places characters come from include Growls and Growltown. Henry has a best friend named Denzel Dugglemonster and a monsterette friend named Gertie Growlerstein he spends time with. Everyone in Roarsville is a friendly, fun-loving monster. Henry's experiences with his family often lead to problems, so Henry must use his problem-solving skills to try to find a way to solve the problems and conflicts he is presented with in his daily life. Every episode features one or more original songs.
Common Sense Media stated that many of the episodes include "basic preschool skills like counting and sequences".
The characters in the series are primarily monsters and their pets (called Monsterpets). The Hugglemonsters and Denzel were able to survive without visible protection on the Monster Moon which had no apparent atmosphere, suggesting that Monsters and Monsterettes (also called monster girls) can resist the vacuum of outer space and, if they have to breathe or are required to hold their breath, they can hold their breath for extended periods of time.
