adapted the characters into an animated series which was originally in production until 1996, being revived 5 years later by Amberwood Entertainment and finally cancelled in 2002. Contrary to the original books, the series is more based on Katie and Orbie's adventures and discoveries, ranging from having a new pet or helping their friends, to address themes like protection of the environment, different types of people and childhood fears.

The show was narrated by the late actor Leslie Nielsen

has also provided music for the series.

During the first 3 seasons, most stories were written by the characters' co-creator Susan Wicks, with Mary Mackay-Smith writing the remaining stories. For seasons 4–6, all stories were written by Mackay-Smith.

This show is different from most other such series in that the scenes are shown similar to a slideshow, instead of coming to life, also, none of the characters actually speak, so a variety of sound effects are used during the stories.

International rights for the series were first owned by Entertainment Rights

Main characters

Katie - A 5 year old girl (although it is implied at the start of the series that she was 4, as she celebrates her 5th birthday party in the episode Andy's Birthday Present) who is, essentially, the main character of the show. She has blonde hair, and almost always wears a green and white striped t-shirt with blue overalls. Katie is depicted as an imaginative, playful, and curious girl, and usually quite happy. She lives with her best friend Orbie and her parents in a suburb of Ottawa

(although the show's setting isn't stated, it is implied due to some Ottawa landmarks appearing in some episodes and characters pouring milk out of bags

, which are common in Ottawa). Some descriptions of the show say that she's "teetering on the brink of her first days at school" but casually except for Charisse (who on a story invites Katie to her school), practically none of the neighborhood kids are seen going to school. Her sound effects include a characteristic laugh, as well as occasional sighing, yelling and crying sounds. Those sound effects, as well as her "voice" during the Did You Know? segments, are done by Amanda Tripp.

Orbie - A small and pink alien

Extraterrestrial life is defined as life that does not originate from Earth...

, he has red polka dots on his body (early episodes show him having the capacity to change the color of his dots, depending on how he feels), who is from an unknown planet which is "far away out past the moon". The book Katie and Orbie Pick Up the Garbage, one of the books on which the series is based, implies that he was sent away from his home planet because it was too polluted to sustain life, and the destiny of his native family or his species is unknown. While travelling in a small spaceship, he reached Earth and just happened to land in Katie's backyard, and immediately he and Katie became best friends, resulting in his being "adopted" by Katie's parents. He's apparently the same age as Katie. He speaks in a unique series of squeaks and chirps (often referred to as 'honks') that people appear to be able to understand despite that fact that he isn't speaking any known language. With the exception of I Don't Want to be Different (the last story of the first episode), people seem to be oblivious to the fact that he's an alien, and treat him like a normal person(In that story a group of kids at a restaurant look surprised at Orbie, making him feel embarrassed). He doesn't wear clothes or appear to require them, though he does wear clothing and boots if it's raining, cold or snowing. He is a natural acrobat, often breaking into leaps and flips out of sheer joy and has pads on his fingers and toes which enable him to climb walls and hang from the ceiling. He can also use these pads to help him climb other things, but they work best on flat surfaces. He sleeps in Katie's closet, hanging upside down from the bar like a bat

. His sound effects are made by Chris Wightman.

Wayne - Katie's father as well as Orbie's adoptive father. He is always referred to as Dad, but his real name was mentioned in the story The Thunderstorm. He works at an office building, but his actual job is unclear. He is very thoughtful towards Katie, Orbie and his wife, Susan.

Susan - Katie's mother and Orbie's adoptive mother. She is always referred to as Mom, however her real name is mentioned in the episode Mrs. Parette's Picture. She doesn't seem to work as she's mostly seen at the family house, though it's possible she may work from home, as she has gone into the city to attend meetings. Her name is probably a reference to Ben Wicks' daughter Susan Wicks

, the co-creator of the characters, as well as writer during the first 3 seasons of the show.

The family's surname was never given. Also, both Wayne's parents(Katie's paternal grandparents) and Susan's parents(maternal grandparents) have appeared on the show. Wayne's parents live in an apartment building in the city, while Susan's parents live in an old house in the same suburb where the characters live. Both Wayne and Susan lived with their parents growing up, presumably until they got married and moved to their own home.

Friends and other characters

Mrs. Elane Parette - Friend of the family, she is an old woman who likes children and usually is seen baking cakes or cookies for them. She has a big willow in her garden which serves as a hideout for Katie, Orbie and their friends. She has at least one daughter, as well as at least two grandchildren. She is always referred simply as Mrs. Parette, being one of the few characters that has a surname. Her name, Elane, was mentioned by Susan (Katie's mom) in the episode Mrs. Parette's Picture, which was her first appearance.

Chance - The family's cat

First appearance: Andy's Birthday Present

Yee Ping - A girl of Chinese origin, who is very friendly and has even taught Katie and Orbie some Chinese traditions. After Orbie, she was Katie's second friend introduced on the series.

Mrs. Parette gave her and Katie two heart-shaped collars with photos of both, so they could remember their friendship.

A handful of other minor characters have appeared during the series.

Episodes

Main article: List of Katie and Orbie episodes

The series started production in 1993 by Lacewood Productions

Lacewood Productions

, which created 13 half-hour episodes each consisting of 3 7-minute unrelated stories and 2 30-second interstitial segments titled Did You Know?. The series debuted in 1994 on Family Channel and quickly became a success, prompting Lacewood to create 2 more 13-episode "seasons" of the show in 1995 and 1996. Beginning with season 3 in 1996, the series began to use digital ink and paint for coloring.

In 1997, after producing 39 episodes for the show, economical problems of Lacewood forced it to close and therefore cancel the series. In 2000, the newly-formed animation company Amberwood Entertainment acquired rights of the series, and alongside Entertainment Rights

Entertainment Rights

began production of 26 more episodes for the show, which debuted on the Family Channel the next year. However, the revival of the series was short-lived, as in 2002 after a final 13 episode season the series was cancelled again.

A total of 234 individual stories were produced, 3 per each half-hour episode. Each episode also had 2 30-second interstitial segments titled Did You Know? which tells viewers small pieces of information regarding several subjects, like plants, flowers, animals, the body and arts.
These segments are "narrated" by Katie.

Each episode is structured by the 2-minute opening theme, the first story, a Did You Know? interstitial, the second story, another Did You Know?, the third story and the closing credits.

From June 2009 until its removal, the channel reran the episodes shown on Friday the following Monday. The full run of 78 episodes was shown four times (with the first 67 episodes airing a fifth time before its abrupt removal), but CBeebies originally skipped episode #51 for unknown reasons, but on March 12, 2010 it was finally aired. Oddly, some episodes had problems on their audio track when they were aired, these include the track being sped-up or suddenly cutting onto another scene (on most cases this cuts part of the narration).
