Tak and the Power of Juju

Tak and the Power of Juju is an American CGI animated television series that aired for two seasons from August 31, 2007, to January 24, 2009. Loosely based on the 2003 video game of the same name, the show consists of two eleven-minute stories per half-hour episode. It was co-produced by THQ and Nickelodeon. The series was produced by Nick Jennings and directed, among others, by Mark Risley, Jim Schumann, and Heiko Drengenberg. It was the first CGI series to be directly overseen by Nickelodeon Animation Studio. Characters Main Tak (voiced by Hal Sparks replacing Jason Marsden) has the ability to summon a magic power, which the Jujus (magical creatures) bestowed upon him to serve as a link between his and their realms. Tak tends to be the smarter of the group, but has his mishaps when it comes to practicing his Juju power. Whenever Lok gets himself into trouble Tak is the first one on the scene to save him. He is a 14-year-old apprentice who lives with his mentor Jibolba. Little is known about Tak's parents except that his mother was the Aurora Juju and his father was a Pupununu. Jeera (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) is Tak's fun-loving best friend and the same age as him. She is a tomboy and will often punch Tak as a sign of endearment or annoyance. It is heavily implied that she has romantic feelings for Tak. Jeera is the younger of the Chief's two daughters; her older sister Zaria is next in line for the throne and never lets Jeera forget it. So far, the only game she appears in is Tak and the Guardians of Gross. Banutu Jibolba (voiced by Lloyd Sherr replacing John Kassir) is Tak's mentor and shaman of the Pupununu tribe. He is 177 years old. Lok (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is the resident warrior of the village, Lok is more talk than action and, in fact, his cowardice usually gets the better of him. He'd rather make up a story (mostly from stating it was him and not Tak who saved the village) to save face than do the actual dangerous deed. He often refers to himself in third person. Keeko (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a careless, daydreaming, laid-back orphan. Keeko is best friends with Tak and Jeera. He has no parents and lives in a cave. His only memories of his parents is the song he whistles. He creates different inventions in the series and some of them rarely work. Zaria (voiced by Dannah Feinglass) is Jeera's 18-year-old sister. She is the next one to inherit the throne and never let Jeera forget it.
