"We wanted to do what we grew up loving," says creator Scott Schultz (right, with, from left, DJ Lance Rock, co-creator Christian Jacobs and characters Toodee, Plex, Foofa, Muno and Brobee).

CELEBS LOVE THEM TOO!
Christina Aguilera and son Max took in a Yo Gabba Gabba Live! concert in November 2009.
Brad Pitt's Halloween homage "looked great," says Lance Robertson.
"Having Jack Black on the show was like a dream," Jacobs says of the actor's '09 appearance.

1. IT STARTED WITH SKATEBOARDING
   Skateboard video directors Christian Jacobs, 38, and Scott Shultz, 38, were each new dads when they hatched Gabba in 2001. Stuck watching uninspired preschool shows, says Schultz, "we had that naive idea that so much more could be done."
2. THE CHARACTERS HAVE DISNEY DNA
   The show airs on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., but the characters are played by "mascot dancer" vets from Disneyland. "We always try to use the same people in the costumes," says Jacobs (who voices robot Plex). "Kids can tell if something's off."
3. DJ LANCE ROCK IS NO WILLY WONKA
   The show's peppy host was going to wear a Willy Wonka-inspired outfit with a top hat. "But I couldn't move around in that," says Lance Robertson, 45, a real deejay, who opted for an orange tracksuit. "I feel like a superhero when I'm wearing that!"
4. IT'S MORE THAN JUST A TV SHOW
   A 60-city Gabba U.S. tour kicked off Aug. 27 ("You can feel the bated breath as kids wait for it to start." says Jacobs. "Then it's this rush of joy"), and there's talk of a movie. "We want it to be a fun family experience," says Schultz, "like seeing Toy Story 3."
5. STARS GO GAGA FOR GABBA
   Celeb fans include Gabba guest star Jack Black and Brad Pitt, who donned a DJ Lance costume last Halloween."Now," says Nickelodeon animation president Brown Johnson, "we just have to get Angelina to dress up as Foofa!"
