The Zula Patrol is a 3D/CG animated show about six extraterrestrial
characters - Captain Bula, his copilot Zeeter, Professor Multo, their
pet, Gorgo and the Flying dictionaries Wizzy and Wig - who learn key
science concepts as they explore the galaxy through space missions.
Often, the group encounters the evil Dark Truder and his talking toupee
minion, Traxie, and must thwart Truder's poorly planned schemes to take
over the universe. Each character exhibits unique abilities and traits
that, combined with their new knowledge, helps them problem-solve their
way through their journeys. Using an integrated approach to target
diverse learning styles, the show communicates its educational messages
through storytelling and a two-part information segment at the end of
each story.

With her animals and best friend Dooley as key elements of her team, Willa works on solutions to overcome her challenge. Together they find ways to maintain healthy friendships, experience success, develop competence, and become altruistic. With help from her animal friends, Willa figures out how to earn the things she wants by helping others.
