The Save-Ums! 2018

The Save-Ums! 2018 is a 2018 Canadian CGI animated adult television series produced by Decode Entertainment.

Synopsis
The Save-Ums!, which consist of Jazzi (now voiced by Tara Strong), Noodle (Caboche in the French dub, now voiced by Mark Rendall), Custard (Berlingot in the French dub, now voiced by Jordan Francis), Ka-Chung (Aïkido in the French dub, now voiced by Mitchell Eisner), Foo (Louna in the French dub, still voiced by Aaryn Doyle) and B.B. Jammies (Bébé Jimmy in the French dub, still voiced by Connor Price), are patrol group of six aliens of various appearances who help various critters when they run into difficulty as adults instead of children like before.

Each episode begins with a call on the "adventure screen" (essentially a videophone) from an inhabitant of the world in which the Save-Ums live. The caller describes the difficulty that needs to be resolved, and then select Save-Ums travel to the scene of the problem. There are three different places that they travel: Rock World, an island with a huge mountain; Lava World, a tropical island with a volcano; and Wave World, which is under the ocean.

The Save-Ums then assist in solving the problem as adults instead of children like before. Each episode ends with the problem being solved and them returning to their safety headquarters, which is now a bar called The Safe House where they drink beer while watching TV or playing video games on their phones when not on missions unlike before where it was just a regular house for kids without any alcohol inside since this show is aimed at an adult audience unlike its predecessor that was aimed towards younger viewers.

The Save-Ums!:
Jazzi (voiced by Tara Strong) is a female purple passionate adult with red hair tied into two puppytails who dreams to speak the language of wild horses. She is afraid of water and is shown to be the leader in numerous episodes like before, but she now drinks beer instead of soda unlike her younger self. She also has an obsession with social media and taking selfies as well as being addicted to her phone which gets her into trouble in some episodes.

Noodle (Caboche in the French dub, voiced by Mark Rendall) is a male white pound puppy-like adult alien who is the most intelligent and mature of the group like before, often being the voice of reason and helping others to see what is right unlike his younger self. He also pilots the subchopper, a helicopter that travels on air or under sea like before except it's now bigger to fit him since he's an adult instead of a child.

Custard (Berlingot in the French dub, voiced by Jordan Francis) is a cool male purple and red cat-eared adult Save-Um who pilots the Zoomer, a powerboat that travels on either water or snow like before except it's now bigger to fit him since he's an adult instead of a child. He is known for saying "Bam!" when he has an idea like his younger self with some episodes focusing on him trying to give up this catchphrase since he's an adult now.

Ka-Chung (Aïkido in the French dub, voiced by Mitchell Eisner) is a male red and white hippopotamus-like adult alien who is the toughest Save-Um like before except he's much bigger than his younger self. He also uses the Ka-Drill, a tunnel boring machine that drills through mountains which helps him get around Rock World faster unlike when he was younger where it just helped him dig holes.

Foo (Louna in the French dub, voiced by Aaryn Doyle) is a female blue and yellow long limbed angelfish-like bird adult who is the nicest of the Save-Ums like before. She also flies with her jetpack which helps her get around Rock World faster unlike when she was younger where it just helped her fly for fun.

B.B. Jammies (Bébé Jimmy in the French dub, voiced by Connor Price) is Jazzi's miniature brother, who has a purple diamond-shaped head like before. Since he is too little to go on missions unlike his younger self, he mostly plays with the Puffs at The Safe House while the others are out drinking beer or playing video games when not on missions.
