I’ll never forget the pure trauma of losing my first generation zhu zhu pet baby in a Best Buy…..💔

I remember as a kid I used to LOVE going to the library not because of books, but because they had the zhu zhu pet game on their colorful childrens computers, I played that game until the library closed

i have a very distinct memory of the babies. they were flocked, but my best friend at the time had peeled the flock off due to sensory issues. so i was playing with skinless zhu zhu babies

My sister and I used to play with our Zhu Zhu pets as veterinarians, so we would take all of them out (we had like at least ten of them) and make notes on various qualities like fur softness, speed, ability to travel in a straight line, and the quality of their speakers. We’d give them like ratings and diagnose them with “bad speaker” and other things along those lines lmaooo. Simpler days.

when i was little, my mom had a blog and would sign up for chances to review prototypes of kids toys. she won the zhu zhu pet track, a bunch of zhu zhu pets, the babies, and a hamster ball. one thing i always remember is that the logos on the items said “go go pets” instead of zhu zhu pets, because they were from an earlier release. i loved them so much. i would put them in my best friends hair

33:55 there’s a few reasons as to why your Zhu Zhu pet may not move, I own one myself after all these years that still makes noises and the buttons work but just doesn’t move. I’ve checked for the following: 1. The rubber grips on the wheels are too worn down for it to move. 2. Low battery only causes them to make noise 3. There may be hair stuck deep within the hamster’s gears, you would have to open the toy fully to access the majority of it 4. A plastic gear within the hamster may have chipped or worn out, causing it to not line up to other parts. It’s basically impossible to access and repair it without breaking the plastic casing and finding the right parts. Based on the fact that you can hear the noise of it trying to move originally, I believe Jilly is dealing with issue #4 sadly. If the other hamsters are not turning on at all despite battery replacement, I think those systems are either fully shot and unable to be fixed or some sort of rust/corrosion. I’m not a technology expert but those are the most likely reasons based on my knowledge of the toy, also I HEAVILY grew up with the series so I’m glad everyone’s starting to talk about it Although I’m kinda sad that no one is talking about the interactive website they had literally called “the Zhuniverse”, that’s where the majority of the old unplayable flash games they had were originally from.

My mom never let me get Zhu Zhu pets as a kid because they were too girly, and I still hold that grudge to this day

i had a MASSIVE zhuzhu pet collection when i was in elementary. i would pack literally everything up into big bags and take them to my little brother's tball games. most of my brother's teammates had younger siblings so when i started setting up my zhuzhu pets setup the toddlers would all flock to me and the moms would joke that i babysat for them so they could actually watch their child play on the team.

i remember getting my hair stuck in their little wheels, and having to get my first ever fuck-ass bob LMAO

Zhu Zhu Pets was the shit. I had a small handful of hamsters. Mr. Squiggles would frequently come to elementary school with me and had that great carrier case and plastic house playset to stay in. We also collected a couple Kung Zhu hamsters. When they changed the designs of the hamsters and cut the roster down to the main four, it left a deep cut my soul. Never forgiving DreamWorks or whoever was responsible for that reboot.

If you unscrew the screw on the bottom of them you can access the battery compartment, they take 2 AA batteries. And since they're old sometimes the gears split. In my channel I did a repair video of one of the gearboxes but it's old and I need to make a newer better version lol. Nice video, this was really detailed!

Hearing they're rebooting the toy makes my inner child hella pumped. Maybe I'll give in and get one lmao

Another absolute banger of a video that checks all my childhood boxes off from you. I used to watch Quest for Zhu ALL the time when I was a kid. If I put it on now a sleeper cell activation would occur in my brain allowing me to quote it word for word I bet.

I wish I never sold all of my old zhuzhu pets, but I did save the very first one I got, which was Sweetie! I was so obsessed with them when I was like 5 and I’d watch the movie on repeat, no joke

My greatest memory of this is when my youngest cousin on my mom's side used to call them "minja rats" when he was like 4

Seeing these videos of the Zhu Zhu Pets history and NOW continuing journey really puts a smile and tears in my face!! Wonderful video!!

When Zhu Zhu pets were a thing my mom couldn't afford to get me an "official" Zhu Zhu pet so we got some off brand one that made a bunch of squeaking noises and would go forward and backwards. My brother and my cousin thought they were cool and wanted one. The knock offs were so cheap that my cousin and my brothers broke right away, and mine eventually stopped working since loose hair on the floor got tangled in the gears. Seeing this reminded me of my childhood watch Nickelodeon and seeing the commercials.

10:20 “a line themed around zhu’s from the military” made me laugh

Megamind is a legendary cinematic masterpiece. It had every right to win 😤

I have Roxy. She came with a hair roller which always fell out of her hair. I got so sick of it that I decided Roxy needed to ditch the rollers and try a ponytail. She’s never gone back. Also, you forgot the magic Zus. They were like magic hamsters that were all plastic. I had one called Picadilly. There were also Abra, Madam Zu and Dinamo.

crying cause pamplemousse is the french word for grapefruit… why did the show name her that 😭😭😭😭

Hi ! I'm from France, and the toys you're talking about at 23:53 were released in macdonalds there ( I had one as a kid, and I remember it vividly ) hope it helps :3 I love your videos, it's very nostalgic as a gen Z, and I love watching them ! (Dunno why but I like accumulating knowledge about random things ahah)

I had a few as a kid... They broke because of hair getting stuck in the wheels 😬

I used to think g-force was a zhu zhu pet movie 😭😭

Loved this video! I think i still have mine somewhere, i think i had NumNum and Mocha(?). They always used to get hair in their wheels. Last time i found her, Numnum made that same screaming noise. Side note: i hated what they did to babies. I thought they didnt look like their parents anymore.

I love this video so much. I fucking loved these as kids! I was so mad when they redesigned the babies from matching the adults to this super cartoony stylized appearance. I had the DS games and LOVED it, racing was so fun.

Funny you mention Ian Corlett's voice work in everything else but MLP, he actually voiced a few characters on there. He also voiced in Salty's Lighthouse as Ten Cents, Otis, Zeebee and Zip, Kathleen Barr (known for voicing Trixie Lulamoon on MLP) was also a part of the voice cast as Ocho the Octopus, Scott McNeil (known for voicing one of the Flim Flam brothers on MLP) voiced Zorran, Zak and Zug. And Andrea Libman (known for voicing Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy on MLP) voiced Claude the Crab. Quite the cast of soon to be MLP voice actors. Another fun fact, Sweetie Belle is actually voiced by one of Ian's daughters, I think specifically the one who voiced Tiny Pteranodon on Dinosaur Train. She is also known for her role as Dizzy in the Bob the Builder 2015 reboot.

I was unhealthily obsessed with these back in the day! Loved the video-one minor correction for both you and Athena P’s video-the orginal Zhu Zhu pets series didn’t just go in 2009. Up until late 2011-early 2012 they were releasing more classic hamsters. The later ones like Pumpkin and Snickleftitz came out then. They were released concurrently with the later stuff like the Wild Bunch and Puppies. So they were still making regular hamsters when those were out.

I never had the second generation Zhu Zhu Pet babies, only the first generation. I used to peel the felt off of them. Shout out to Scoodles and Jilly for getting stuck in my hair.

I remember having the a ninja or military hamsters. I would never turn them on just so I could roleplay with them and act out strange scenarios. (And for some reason I had two copies of the original Ds game and had different hamsters on each and I never even knew how to play)

i actually remember watching the tv show after school! i loved the theme song a lot but i never watched more than like a handful of episodes maybe like 4? i do remember frankie being called polly actually so i guess i watchdd the original broadcasts lol. i loved zhu zhu pets but i never got to own one sadly. the new toys look so cute!

35:25 the reason she sounds so weird is probably because her batteries are close to dead. I had a talking animatronic cat as a kid that did the same thing, didn’t move but could produce sound, though it was altered in a way that came off almost demonic-y. I guarantee that if you open up the tummy somehow and replace the batteries that they’ll probably be working just the same afterwards. (The toy was a talking Seraphina from Barbie: The princess and the Pauper, for anyone curious ☺️)

When you brought up one of them was named Friday I laughed specifically at that and not the other gibberish names like zee zee Louie peanut brittle or whatever I was a bit charmed by Friday

Omg I was so obsessed with theses as a kid. Ty so much for the throw back your channel is such a treasure trove ^^

I don’t know if you ever watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade but I think around when the movie came out, there was a float for the Zhu Zhu pets! I swear I remember seeing it and being like- really excited for the movie

I got haunted by my Scoodles zhu zhu pet for years. I had packed it up in a box and whenever something jostled it I'd hear the dreaded "ready to go!" Followed by the sounds of wheels whrrring. Years. Years of misplacing the box in a closet, only to hear the little rodent taunt me from its box prison. I miss him.

I absolutely loved the zhuzhu pet I had and was so upset when it got lost during a move from one state to another. I had a Mr. Squiggles and i loved how in my kid brain it looked so realistic

I remember this things! I has one when I was little and it was one of my favourite toys because of how cute it was! I had Prince Dashington I believe? I just learned that they had names ... I loved him so much I'm glad you're talking about zhuzhu pets ❤️

I loved these little hamsters :)

There's a great episode of Doctor Who where there's a character called Talluluah. Not spelled the same way, but she's always been one of my favorites. Thought you might want to know :)

I had so many of these, and a serious obsession with the DS games. I actually have a lot of them scattered around my moms basement (I only know because I moved a tote once and heard one of them go off) This took me back. The Wild Bunch clips did ESPECIALLY

all I remember about zuh zuh pets is constantly getting the wheels caught in my hair lmao

I remember having a pair of Sweeties as a kid. The most interesting thing to me was that the set of noises and voice lines they made upon pressing the nose differed between the two.

Oh my god I remember playing that ds game… I used to bring my zhuzhu pets to my friends house bc he had more of the tracks than I did and we would race them and shit it was so fun

I used to watch Quest for Zhu ALL THE TIME

i just got flooded with memories upon seeing the zhu zhu puppies game. i had it and i think miss priss was my favorite because i had the toy also.

I REMEMBER THESE! I had one (I don't remember which... it might have been Nugget?) But before I finally got it I remember begging to get one because a bunch of my friends had them and brought them to school and we'd play with them during breaks in Class, and I saw the commercials everywhere for them. Wow, memories...

Oh this brings me back, ironically my sister got like, a Kung Zhu and the DS game, but I had Chunk growing up, I never got any of the playsets unfortunately, but this was a fun trip back to the past!

Omg so much nostalgia in one video! I owned the first, forest, and princess dress! Plus you reminded me of a bunch of these toys I had which I had forgotten about😅

I still have my pink and grey zhu zhu pets, loved those little dudes!!!

no because a deep dive into mcdonalds happy meal toys or just fast food meal toys in general would hit LIKEEEEE

Ian-James Corlett is one of the like two dozen voice actors who are in seemingly every cartoon to come out of Canada. Personally when I think of him the first role that comes to mind is Mega Man in the corny '90s cartoon

I’m autistic and Zhu Zhu pets was my very first special interest I remember having! My favourite ones were Peachy and Pinkie.

I have a distinct memory of one time bringing my zhu-zhu play set over my friends house and we for some reason thought it would be smart to put her actual hamster in it. He got stuck. Luckily her mom was able to get him out unharmed 😅

I LOVE that you did a deep dive into this!! One thing though is that I'm pretty sure that "IO" isn't "ten" but like "eye-oh" LMAOOO

when i was younger my elementary school had a carnival that had a raffle that had a bunch of cool toys and bikes and giftcards and one year everyone in my family won the raffle except me so i cried super hard and one of the ladys running the raffle felt bad so she gave me one of the prizes they ended up not using for the raffle and it was a zhu zhu pets set. it didnt come with a zhu zhu pet and i ended up not getting a zhu zhu pet until after that set was long broken but getting that set but i loved it and it made my day as a kid.

My hamster was called Skittles too and my jaw dropped when i looked back at the screen and saw he also looked exactly the same as well XD

i had the zhu zhu puppies ds game, it came with the puppy cursor and everything, i loved it so much :’)

I had a cat named tulula bell lol that's so cool ! Also your videos help with my anxiety! Your an excellent journalist

I had the St. Patrick’s Day Zhu Zhu Pet and I used to watch The Zhu Zhu’s animated show on Disney Channel!

damn, i actually remember something about having these toys! i don't remember much of my childhood (...despite being only 18...), but i distinctly remember having two zhu zhu pets. one time, i brought them, in the mini carrying cases, to my mom's friend's house. mom's friend had a kid too, her name was tayva. that day, mom made me give my second zhu zhu pet to tayva and i was DEVASTATED. i don't know why to this day, but i was crying and trying to stop sobbing when i told tayva to choose one of the hamsters. i also don't know why my mother made me give the girl my zhu zhu pet, either.

I hope that one day you and @AthenaPOfficial can do a collab together!

My childhood nickname was zuzu pronounced the same as zhu zhu and kids would call me zhu zhu pet 👍 I did have the one named zuzu we were twining

I used to have some Zhu Zhu pets. I got them when they first started off around Christmas time. I only ever had Gen 1, though. I got bored of them rather quickly because whenever I had them out, my dad would keep messing with them and putting them on the carpet. Their wheels got a lot of hair in them because of it and they eventually just wouldn’t move anymore. It just wasn’t fun playing with them anymore.

FUN FACT!! zhu zhu pets used to not have an emergency off switch, the company didn't add them until so many people filed complaints specifically due to them getting stuck in their child's hair and pulling until being cut out their hair. I know this because I WAS ONE OF THOSE KIDS it pulled my scalp away from my skull and my mother sent them a letter and as reparation they sent me.... A NEW ZHU ZHU PET! I have never looked at them the same since.

took me about halfway thru the video to realize we're wearing the same sweater lol. i remember spending so much time on the og ds game

Just found my Zhu Zhu Tulip in the drawer! Such lovely noises♡ Me and my sibling owned two each- my first being Rock ‘O. I coincidentally also had Rock ‘O’s canon armor. Those armors added so much fun ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ×.* One day out of and I ran Rock ‘O over brown cheese. He never won a race again 🐁 I was so little (or just oblivious) I didn’t know they were part of more than "random hamster from the toy store that go vroom" (didn’t realise they were hamsters either). I loved getting to see them again and learn about them in this vide! ^^🌻

YES ! FINALLY !! i still have to this day a little zhuzhu pet that is a pink bunny named sweetie, i was obsessed with it as a kid LOL

i actually got to meet ian james corlett back in october! i got his signature on some official art of glitch bob from reboot. he's a cool guy! it took until the movie section to realize i had conflated zhu zhu pets with g-force? wild honestly, i clicked on this video while vaguely remembering the guinea pig with earrings. i honestly forgot they had playsets at all for zhu zhu pets and kind of assumed they only released a couple of hamsters, not the insane amount they actually did release! back when they first came out, my siblings and i each got one for christmas. unfortunately i was getting a little old for them at that point and weirdly i think the novelty wore off for me because i had multiple pet hamsters (opposite from you, i suppose!). i remember seeing one of them just sitting on the kitchen counter LMAO no idea why. EDIT: just as a fun fact, i know of another show that got redubbed after a hiatus! "whatever happened to... robot jones?" originally had the main character, robot jones, with a robotic sounding voice. apparently they got complaints and after a break, the rest of the episodes were released with a completely different, non-robotic voice and the earlier episodes were redubbed to match, if memory serves. also pretty sure those early episodes with the robot voice were lost media for awhile!

I brought out my old childhood zhu zhu pets to show my nephew and my dog started treating them like babies. Cutest thing ever watching her heard them in the kitchen

I still have the zhu zhu princess game. I remember stuggling to complete the game and i still havent ToT

I watched the whole video waiting for you to mention the zhuzhu pets desktop game i played as a kid where you’re in a zhuzhu hamster ball and youre just trying to get to the end without falling off the track thing. I know it exists because my brother burned tomato soup watching me play it after he said the game was stupid (game was beautiful, highly recommend)

BRO I LOVE THE ORIGINAL ZHUZHU BABIES SM

CHUNK WAS MY BESTIE!!!!!!!!!!! He was my fav i love him so much i wonder if my dad still has my zhu zhu pets

zhu zhu pets and that hamster game off webkinz had the most despicable grip on my psyche during kindergarten

I have such vivid memories of getting these stuck in my hair sooo many times

I remember going to a store as a child in the early 2000s specifically for these pets, Drayko was my favorite fs

I had a huge collection of them and lost the dsi game of them. They were so engraved into my past. Honestly i could see them coming back if treated correctly

I still have all the DS games and on my DS1

can I just say every time I watch one of ur vids I quote ur intro 😭

I had a few zhu zhu pets growing up. They were silly lil guys.

i got reminded of zhu zhu pets from that tiktok that was like ‘when my dad yelled at for me for getting my zhu zhu pet’s wheels stuck in his chest hair’. theyre very fun but i always remembered them having hair in the wheels

I got a couple of these from a garage sale as a kid, I had no idea what they were called or anything so this is cool to see

yaas i had soooo many like 2 huuuge boxes of them. i had the princess castle, the pizza shop and loads of the basic tracks. i moved into a different room tho with less space and i havent been able to use them for years. im 14 now but would still play with them now lol.

I think it would be really cool if you did another interactive pet related video on what happened to the Zoomer franchise that had Zoomer Hedgiez, Zoomer puppies and kitties because I heard that these toys sold pretty well and were also popular around the early 2010s until they were no longer available in stores but you can still find these interactive robotic pets online,

I’m super sick rn and earlier today I fell asleep watching your videos on autoplay and woke up to this 29:41 went huh? then immediately fell back asleep 😭

Me and my sisters had gotten them and they were so cute the one w/ swirl on the back was the one I remember playing with most vividly

this is the thing my nostalgic ass has been waiting for lets goooooo

I had some of them. Never knew what they were, I had found them in a second-hand store, and would go there every afternoon, after school, and would buy a single one until I got all the ones there. I managed to get like 5 of them (I think).

I used to play the Wild Bunch and Kung Zhu DS games all the time! So much nostalgia! I still have a few of the Kung Zhu toys and other Zhu Zhus, but they don't work too well anymore.

I have zhuzhu pets and the Wii Game for them :3

Did I just spend my smoke session watching a video on zhuzhu pets? You bet your ass I did

I have one of the Zhu zhu pet games and a toy, the DS game was so good 😭🤚 used to play it all the time. Going to have to play it again soon.

i acttually grew up playing with these with my neighber she HAD EVERY THING

10:13 Thank you unlocking this forgotten memory of mine. I wasn't into hamsters but I thought the Kung Zhu commercials looked cool. If only they were still around.

I’m so happy to have a new favorite KZfaqr

I feel like I am going crazy, as I have a ton of Zhu Zhu babies including a Frog. Can't seem to find much about the frog at all! It's 100% a legit Zhu Zhu pet baby, and it has the bug birthmark

Did anyone else know them as Go Go Pets before their name was changed to Zhu Zhu? Had so many as a kid

I was half asleep watching this and the scream towards the end scared me awake :,) 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
