Ni Hao, Kai-Lan is an American animated children's television series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio. It began as a series of three interstitial shorts on Nick Jr. called Downward Doghouse. The entire series was released on Paramount+ (at the time CBS All Access) on January 19, 2021. The series is based on the childhood memories of the show's creator, Karen Chau, who grew up in a bicultural (Chinese-American) household.
The series follows the adventures of Kai-Lan and her group of talking anthropomorphic animal companions. The group consists of Rintoo, a yellow 6-year-old Bengal tiger, Tolee, a gray koala; Lulu, a light pink rhinoceros; and Hoho, a white 3-year old monkey. Each episode is based around a series of events that occur, along with obstacles that she and her friends must overcome.
