Synopsis
Smooch and Winslow ask Snook for help finding their new friend Wartz, who seems to be missing. Snook leads the two monkeys throughout the tree, visiting Burdette, Bob the Anteater, Oko and even Ick at his water hole at the foot of the tree, but they can't find Wartz anywhere. Their search finally leads them to Madge, the wise old she-turtle, who explains to them that their friend Wartz, who used to be a tadpole, has gone through a metamorphosis- he's now a tree frog. Sure enough, Wartz arrives, ready to stretch his new legs and hop off to play with his monkey friends.

Production notes
Metamorphosis- - Some animals or plants change their forms and can be hard to recognize in their new forms.
The series uses Shadowmation, a technique combining puppetry, animatronics and computer-generated animation. The patented process utilizes real-time virtual sets and run raku-style team puppetry, integrating live-action animatronic characters and computer-generated animation in real-time, high-definition virtual environments.
Forty half-hour episodes are planned. Each episode contains two 15-minute segments.
On July 14, 2005, the Writers Guild of America, East went on strike against Big Big Productions, the producer of this series, for refusing to honor WGA minimum pay and standards. Writers picketed the company's Wainscott Studios on Long Island.
Despite having a budget of over $10 million dollars, the Guild alleged, producer Mitchell Kriegman wanted to cut writers' script rates by two-thirds of the WGA minimum payment for this type of show and insisted on virtually eliminating residual payments for six years.
