Messy Goes to OKIDO is a 2015 animated series for children, adapted from characters in OKIDO, a children's arts and science magazine. Inquisitive monster Messy, voiced by Adam Buxton, has adventures with his best friends Zoe and Felix in the colorful world of OKIDO. The first series aired in 2015 premiering on the BBC channel CBeebies, followed by the second in 2018, and the third in 2022. HBO Max and Serious Kids acquired worldwide distribution rights to all three seasons in 2022.
The concept was picked up by London-based CG studio Squint/Opera. Working with Squint/Opera the concept was developed and re-imagined as a 52-part children's show combining live-action footage with 3D renderings of Messy, his friends and the world of OKIDO.
The show aims to tackle a scientific topic in each episode, beginning with a question posed by Messy, for example: why do some things float and some things sink? He travels to OKIDO to discover the answers with the help of his friends Zoe & Felix and the science trio Zim, Zam & Zoom who all have specific abilities that help them in their adventures.
