Mixels is a 2014 comedy animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network, co-produced by The Lego Group and Cartoon Network Studios. The series first aired on February 12, 2014 with a new episode of Teen Titans Go!. The series revolves around the Mixels, small creatures that can mix and combine with one another in creative and unpredictable storylines. Although previous Lego series, such as and Legends of Chima use CGI animation, Mixels made use of Toon Boom Harmony software, which is animated at Atomic Cartoons, Inc., before later being animated traditionally at Digital eMation, Inc., Big Star Entertainment, Inc., and Saerom Animation, Inc.. A mobile app was released for the series on March 4, 2014, named Calling All Mixels, and even earlier two websites, one on the LEGO website and another owned by Cartoon Network, were launched where fans can learn about the Mixels. Nine series of collectible Lego building toys were released, based on the characters. On February 19, 2014, the series began airing as an interstitial program on Boomerang, and still currently airs as such. The TV series wrapped up production in July 2016, and the series finale aired on October 1, 2016, marking the end of the franchise, bar references in Uncle Grandpa and ''.
Overview
Mixels involves many different, fun-loving tribes—each tribe having a different color scheme—who inhabit a fantasy land of adventure and wonder. They can Mix, Max, and Murp in all kinds of situations, using the mysterious Cubits. All that stands in their way are the small, evil, discolored Nixels led by the tall King Nixel.

Series 2
Frosticons
Flurr − Flurr is the leader of the chilled-out tribe of Frosticons, a blue Mixel tribe that hails from the frozen crystalline shells of dead volcanoes. Flurr is the only tribe member who never seems sleepy and this curious creature likes to fly around and explore Frosticon lands. Flurr is great at spotting invading Nixels far away but somestimes misses the most obvious things!
Slumbo − Slumbo is the sleepiest and dreamiest of the Frosticons, a blue Mixel tribe which hails from the frozen crystalline shells of dead volcanoes. It takes an earthquake to wake this guy up, but when Slumbo is awake, this lazy Frosticon has the muscle to move giant objects and create obstacles for Nixels. But beware, Slumbo can get brain freeze from making ice tunnels.
Lunk − The unbelievably slow Lunk makes other members of the permanently chilled-out Frosticon tribe seem positively energetic. Lunk might not be the brainiest, or the most graceful when waddling along ice balancing on his stubby hands, but that thick ice exoskeleton makes this Mixel incredibly durable. And one sneeze from Lunk can instantly freeze a Nixel in an ice cube.
Fang Gang
Jawg − Fiercely loyal, he'll use his indestructible teeth to protect his friends.
Gobba − His whip-like tongue has a super sense of taste that is amazingly accurate.
Chomly − A lethargic trash compactor, he'll eat just about anything that's not nailed down.
Flexers
Kraw − He loves to stretch his intellect in a battle of wits, but he also just loves to stretch and bounce.
Tentro − Although he suffers from a lack of confidence, his tentacles make him powerful and versatile.
Balk − He uses his head as a rubber mallet, but he may have knocked a few screws loose.
Series 3
Glorp Corp
Glomp − He's always hatching some crazy plan, but the real thing to watch out for is his runny nose!
Glurt − The avid garbage collector, if it's old, worn out, and smelly, he has a name for it: LUNCH!
Torts − This slow-moving guy has some super-gooey hands. Great for catching Nixels, not so much for high-fives.
Spikels
Scorpi − Don't get stung by Scorpi, the super-cute but super-skittish member with a spike-ended tail for defense.
Footi − Keep on moving with Footi, with spiny legs and gargantuan feet for dancing.
Hoogi − Lend a helping hand with Hoogi, with huge hands for crashing and smashing... and hugs.
Wiztastics
Magnifo − Say Abracadabra to Magnifo, the magician who wields two magic wands and is the star of the shows.
Mesmo − Fly along with Mesmo, Magnifo's assistant who lacks in showmanship but is loyal.
Wizwuz − Burp out with Wizwuz, the fun-loving member of the tribe.
Series 4
Orbitons
Niksput − Despite having the charm and charisma of a leading man, his mind is slow, to the point of bravely leaping into any danger before realizing how terrified he is.
Nurp-Naut − Nurp-Naut has a bad case of split personality with his double-face head! One face of him, Nurp is an innocent baby; the other, Naut, is a wise old man! This makes him very forgetful and accident-prone, as a side effect.
Rokit − The trooper of the Orbitons does everything as if his life depends on it, whether it's petting a kitten, or eating some pizza. One of Rokit's biggest pet peeves is that none of the other Mixels mimic his extreme lifestyle.
Infernite Cousins
Meltus : a shy and nervous Mixel who is allergic to almost everything.
Flamzer : a dramatic and anxious Mixel who can move quickly.
Burnard : a mischievous Mixel who finds everything funny.
Glowkies
Globert − Globert claims to wow and impress any audience, and with his glow-in-the-dark eye, that's not hard to do! He loves to perform, and is the tribe's ultimate exhibitionist.
Vampos − Vampos is the ultimate sports nut. He loves any sport, from rockball to acrobatics, and he's good at all of these, too! He is also said to be very relaxed and calm.
Boogly − Boogly is, well, a snob. He claims to have done everything there is, so nothing impresses him. He is always complaining, and is very critical.
Nixels are creatures who are enemies of the Mixels, and like to destroy any combinations that the Mixels create. This is because they consider themselves far superior to the Mixels, but are only able to say quite a few words. Their white faces can pop out of their bodies and walk around.
Major Nixel − Major Nixel is the military leader of the Nixels. Unlike the other Nixels, he is capable of speech. He treats the other Nixels like a tornado treats cars, throwing and kicking them to steal cubits.
