About

Based on the popular tween brand from U.S. graphic studio Mighty Fine, this 40 x half-hour series follows the adventures of Ruby Gloom and her pals in Gloomsville. This somewhat dark world is home to an eclectic group of characters like Ruby's best pals Doom Kitty, Skull boy, Misery, Boo Boo and Mr. Buns. Dubbed the "happiest girl in the world," Ruby always sees the bright side of things and encourages her friends to celebrate their differences.
