Meet the friends

Hello from Planet Pip

Planet Pip is a soft, glowing little world of bounce-puddles, floating lanterns and friendly skies. Six best friends live here, and every story helps them, and your child, grow a little braver, kinder and calmer.

The StarCanvas Kids cast standing in a row: Nova, Milo, Pippa, Jax, Zuri and Blink the robot lantern

  • Nova

    Curious and quick to notice. Nova never goes anywhere without her magnifying glass, and she asks the best questions.

  • Milo

    Kind and steady. Milo is the friend who sits down beside you and really waits to hear how you feel.

  • Pippa

    Dreamy and gentle, with her star friend always close. Pippa can be a little shy, but her ideas are huge.

  • Jax

    A builder and fixer with pockets full of bits. When a plan wobbles, Jax is ready with plan B.

  • Zuri

    All bounce and big energy. Zuri is learning that slowing down can be fun too.

  • Blink

    The friendly robot lantern who glows the colours of feelings and helps everyone find a calm, cosy light.
