"I laughed so much, I could barely breathe!" - Ellie

Return to The Isle of Smile and the colourful, fun-loving Mubbles - Pop, Dash, Cheery, and the gang. The Mubbles love their island, especially the mysterious Uncertain Curtain, which always delivers an unexpected surprise! What will it be today?

Today the Uncertain Curtain delivers a karaoke machine - which the Mubbles love for singing their cheerful songs! This makes the Doomongers on the Isle of Gloom grumpy and desperate to stop the karaoke fun. Will sending the Clouds of Doom, the Whiff of Woe, or the Beastly Bugs to the Isle of Smile keep the merry Mubbles quiet once and for all?

Filled with colourful characters, boundless fun, and lots of adventures, this series is a guaranteed hit for kids. Featuring a QR code that will take you to a website full of extra content, including arts, crafts and many fun songs from The Mubbles world.
