Plonsters is an animated children's television program produced by Anima Studio für Film & Grafik GmbH in Hamburg, Germany, and Bettina Matthaei for Egmont Imagination. Each episode is about 3 minutes and 30 seconds long and is produced using stop motion animation done with plasticine, also called claymation. The title is a portmanteau of "plasticine" and "monsters".
The show features three small clay monsters, the Plonsters. They are Plif (the green plonster), who likes to play practical jokes, Plops (the blue plonster) who is the cranky one and Plummy (the orange plonster) who is the cheerful one. They can morph themselves into anything, and their language is some kind of gibberish. The plot of the show is usually that Plif and Plops bully Plummy by ruining everything he does (as well as excluding him from some activities whenever possible), but he gets back at them every time, and every episode ends with the three of them playing together peacefully.
The show also aired in CanadaonYTV between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The shorts were also shown on Eureeka's Castle under the title Plastinots.
InBrazil, the show aired on TV Cultura during the 90s on the Glub Glub program under the title Plastinots.
InItaly, the show aired on Rai 3 sometimes during 2000s/2010s.
InIreland, the show aired on RTÉ as an integral part of the Bosco show sometimes during 1980s/1990s.
InJapan, the show aired on Fuji TV as part of Hirake! Ponkikki.
InNorway, the show aired on TV3 Norway under the title, Plipp, plopp og plomma, likely during 2008.
