Astroblast! is an American animated science fiction children's television series created by Bob Kolar for Sprout. The series follows Comet, an extroverted dog, Sputnik, an adventurous and loving pig, Halley, a smoothie-delivering rabbit, Radar, a bouncy monkey, and Jet, a mute alligator, who live together with an octopus named Sal in the Astroblast Space Station to the fictional smoothie café known as the Frosty Star. It is based on the book series of the same name by author and illustrator Bob Kolar.
The series was co-produced by Scholastic Entertainment and Soup2Nuts and premiered on July 12, 2014. The series also started airing on NBC Kids, the Saturday morning programming block on NBC in October 2014. This was the final series produced by Soup2Nuts before the company closed on March 27, 2015.
