Synopsis

Lincoln enables Boombah the cat to speak.

Visiting New Earth, the Valiant crew meets Ramon Ridley, the original inventor of the Robog. They help him back to New Earth to confront Bob Santino, the man who ripped him off!

Lincoln creates a voice-box for Boombah so they can understand what he's saying. This proves to be an annoying mistake. Not surprisingly, the Dogstar remains lost.

Production notes

A comedy series for children, Dogstar is the story of an amazing quest across space to find a missing ark full of dogs: the Dogstar.

Flash was used to animate Dogstar. However, each animated character was broken down into many more parts than is usual with most Flash animation projects. This helped to produce a rich and intense animation.

Air dates are for Germany's Kika network. The series was later broadcast in its native Australia on Nine Network, starting on November 27, 2007.
