![]() This is a verdant and lush world, with trees, lakes, mountains and flowers. The landscape is similar to a desert, and the most notable features are the bullet-shaped rock pillars with faint colored spots on them.īing and Bong discover weather, the seasons, the power of wind and the way rain turns to snow. Around the planet there is a wide, circular, semi-transparent band inlaid with parallel strips of ever-changing colors. ![]() This is an environment where Bing and Bong explore optical phenomena. Tethered to the Home Planet by a bungee cord it is launched into space by a monstrous catapult.īing and Bong discover rainbows, shadow play, animation and color mixing. The main and most notable feature is the fluffy white sofa that doubles as both their bed and their means of intergalactic travel. ![]() Inside one of these is Bing and Bong's home, decorated in a steampunk idiom, with much brass work. It is an icy world, covered in snow-capped ice floes. From here they set out every morning on a new adventure. There are six tiny planets that Bing and Bong travel to, in addition to their home planet.īing and Bong live inside the home planet. Halley is also the only character that speaks. Halley, named after the comet, is a small wide-eyed alien who provides a running commentary from her flying saucer and "films" the action with a remote camera to provide a summary at the end of each of the television episodes. Thus they are a challenge and Bing and Bong learn to work with them to get the best out of them. They are there to help but do not always take instructions well. Found mostly on the Planet of Technology, like all robots, they are linear thinkers attempting to multitask. Robots are segmented spherical creatures with mechanical arms and either wheels or helicopter rotors. Locals are always colorful, appealing and friendly. On certain planets, the Locals are geometric shapes: squares, circles and triangles. They communicate by bouncing, blinking and squeaking. ![]() They are mostly globular in shape with blinking eyes and little antennae on top of their heads. Locals are smaller inhabitants of the planets and can appear in greater numbers than the Flockers but are just as dim.

He loves to join in games and be the center of attention. Impish, playful, gregarious and incredibly compassionate, he is especially miserable when on bad terms with Bing. He doesn't speak, but communicates with body language, expressive eyebrows, and humming sounds.īong, the smaller one, is appealing, coy, impulsive, and a bundle lover of energy. He likes to help others and has an optimistic approach to life and its problems. Patient and thoughtful, he loves nothing more than a problem to be solved or a job to be done. Wise and determined, he often takes the lead in adventures. His enormous appetite for exploring is dwarfed only by the endless supply of useful gadgets in an ever-present pouch. These two explorers are catapulted to the surrounding worlds in their solar system on a flying white sofa where they explore, learn about the inhabitants, develop friendships and have fun.īing is older and much larger than Bong.
