Synopsis and overview
The show centers on three three-inch tall extraterrestrials called Floogals who come to Earth to study its inhabitants. Upon landing, a human boy, thinking their spaceship is a toy, hangs their craft onto a ceiling in a house. The Floogals, however, don't seem to mind as they carry on with their studying.
While the show is set on a real Earthly place featuring live-action humans, the Floogals are CGI-generated.
