What happens

Animal Mechanicals (French: Les Super Mécanimaux) is a Canadian animated preschool children’s television series created by Jeff Rosen. Produced by Halifax Film, in association with the CBC and distributed by Decode Entertainment, the series premiered in Canada on CBC Television as part of the Kids' CBC on September 1, 2008 and ended on January 26, 2011. The French-Canadian version of Animal Mechanicals is called; Les Super Mécanimaux; it aired on the French-language free-to-air television network Ici Radio-Canada Télé; starring French-Canadian voice actors Nicolas Charbonneaux-Collombet as Rex, Éveline Gélinas as Unicorn/Licorne, François Caffiaux as Komodo, Catherine Brunet as Mouse/Petite Souris, Denis Roy as Sasquatch, and Marika Lhoumeau as Island Owl/Petite chouette de l'île. In 2019, the series was revived through the release of new nonverbal webshorts produced by WildBrain Spark Studios, a subsidiary of WildBrain that produces original content for the WildBrain Spark network. Alexander Tol provides the occasional vocal noises for the male characters, while the females are performed by Rae Reilly. A common trope in the show is putting Mechana- in front of a lot of words.
