"We don't want to start a war..."
    "I just want a hover-board!..."
 

   When the Martian despot, Emperor Bog sends three of his finest Martian
   warriors to Earth he expects them to pave the way for a mass alien invasion
   of the planet, but B-Bop A-luna, 2-T Fru-T, and Do-Wah Diddy are three laid
   back Martian buddies who just can't get enough of the Earth's good vibes.
   The trio take up residence at ZAPZ where they hang out with their young human
   buddies Mike, Cedric and Angie and feast on a high-calorie diet of hi-tech games,
   fast food, Muzak and pop culture stylings. Why destroy the Earth when there's
   pizza to be eaten, new hover board tricks to learn and dance moves to acquire...?

   Flying in the face of the the Butt-Ugly Martian's fun is alien hunter Stoat Muldoon.
   Mudloon is truly a pain in the B.U.M. but those Butt-Kicking Martians have
   plenty of tricks up their sleeves to throw him off the scent and Emperor Bog too.
   Bog's right-hand Dr Damage can see through their smoke and mirrors, but he
   needs the Emperor's approval before he can act, and that's not going to happen
   with the Butt Ugly Martian's in the house...

    

   This CG series is usually billed as a Canadian production, but it just about
   qualifies for Toonhound by virtue of the Just Group's involvement, and by the
   fact that the series producer was Mike Young. Mike was previously part of the
   creative team who brought us the award-winning SuperTed and "Fantastic Max"
   series when he was working with Siriol Animation in Cardiff. His company,
   Mike Young Productions have since brought us the likes of "Dive Olly Dive!"
   and "Jakers!"

   » Listen out for Robert "Untouchables" Stack as the voice of Stoat Muldoon,
       and Rob Paulsen - "Pinky and the Brain", Jimmy Neutron" - as 2-T Fru-T...

   » The series was one of the first to properly embrace the web, and it offered
       up extensive additional interactivity via buttuglymartians.com and
       stoatmuldoon.com. Sadly, these are no longer online to view or to review...
