\"wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

Peanut:\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong>\u00a0the charismatic Marquis Mascot MONKEY of Wonderland.\u00a0 Leader of his fellow mascots, and a celebrity among park visitors, he is always happy to greet his adoring fans and, and with the help of a \u201cvoice\u201d on the wind, create never-before- seen \u201csplendiferous\u201d rides with the sweep of his magical marker.\u00a0 When his muse leaves him, so does his magic, and he retreats from the world to avoid the pain.<\/p>\n

Played by: Norbert Leo Butz<\/p>\n

\"wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

Gus and Cooper:\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong>fast-talking, hyper-kinetic BEAVER brothers, the fix-it duo of the park who make sure everything works just right.\u00a0 They are optimistic, witty and very funny. Once able to work seamlessly as a team, they used to be Wonderland\u2019s top-notch maintenance team, and each other\u2019s biggest fans. Now, however, the destruction of Wonderland has proven too big to fix and the brothers can\u2019t seem to stop bickering.<\/p>\n

Played by: Ryan Fitzgerald & Michael Wipfli<\/p>\n

\"wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 an articulate, eloquent PORCUPINE, who is Wonderland\u2019s chief safety officer. He is a lover of words, calculations, and has a puppy-love crush on fellow mascot Greta.

He is always making witty observations even in the middle of running for his life from the Chimpanzombies.<\/p>\n

Played by: John Oliver<\/p>\n

\"wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

Greta:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 a benevolent, take-charge female BOAR, who keeps schedules running seamlessly at the park, and is Peanut\u2019s right hand. After Wonderland is abandoned, and Peanut disappears, she is forced to become the boss. Cynical, a little pushy, protective of her fellow mascots, she feels lost without Peanut who was the \u201cglue\u201d connecting everyone, but she will come to learn she is the \u201cglue.\u201d Greta has a big heart and a maternal streak.<\/p>\n

Played by: Mila Kunis<\/p>\n

\"wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

Boomer:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 a gregarious big BLUE BEAR, who welcomes visitors to Wonderland with the biggest smile ever!\u00a0 He is the optimist and represents hope eternal!

He is also a complete scaredy-cat and terrified of almost everything, especially heights and birds.<\/p>\n

\nQ and A with Boomer!<\/h2>\n

NG KiDS: <\/strong>How would you describe Wonder Park to someone who has never been?
\n<\/strong>BOOMER: <\/strong>Boy, it\u2019s amazing! There are slides and rides and\u2026<\/p>\n

[Boomer falls asleep]<\/p>\n

NG KiDS: <\/strong>Hey, Boomer. Are you awake?<\/p>\n

BOOMER: <\/strong>Oh, I\u2019m sorry. I have Late Onset Hibernation Disorder. Basically, it means I can fall asleep at any time. Especially if I\u2019m stressed out, like that time when I got stuck up on the big rollercoaster and\u2026<\/p>\n

[Falls asleep again]<\/p>\n

NG KiDS: <\/strong>You were telling us about the time you got stuck on a rollercoaster. It sounds scary. What happened?<\/p>\n

BOOMER: <\/strong>It was awful! I\u2019m really scared of heights. And birds. And I was right at the top of this rollercoaster, and there was a bird sat on me. Birds are terrifying, with those beaks and those talons and that influenza type A! Let me tell you, that was a very rare not-great day for me.<\/p>\n

NG KiDS: <\/strong>Are there any big rides at Wonder Park that you do like?<\/p>\n

BOOMER: <\/strong>No, big rides aren\u2019t for me. I\u2019m more of a two-feet-on-the-ground kind of guy. I just love the whole wonder of the place and all my friends there, like Steve and Greta and Gus and Cooper. And baking marshmallow calzones. I love marshmallow calzones. And dreaming about them…<\/p>\n

NG KiDS: <\/strong>Boomer! Before you fall asleep again, please finish the following sentence: Wonder Park is\u2026<\/p>\n

BOOMER: <\/strong>A place where every day is gonna be a great day! And you can consider that a personal guarantee!<\/p>\n
