The "WotWots" is a New Zealand children's television show which debuted in 2005 and has since aired in several other countries worldwide, including the United States and China.

The show features a pair of tiny, young alien twin siblings who spend their days exploring the environment where their steam-powered spaceship has landed, in an effort both to learn more about Earth fauna and to try to determine what they themselves will grow up to look like.

"DottyWot", the smart and responsible ship's captain, spends most of her time supervising her more boisterous, fun-loving brother "SpottyWot", the ship's engineer and a talented artist.

Episodes are set in a zoo, at a farm, or on a beach and most often tie their discovery of an animal characteristic into their own adventures.

The "WotWots" was created and developed by children's author Martin Baynton (born 1953), in partnership with filmmaker Richard Taylor (born 8 February 1965). Taylor is the founder, creative director and head of New Zealand film prop and special effects company, "Wētā Workshop", well known for its work on the "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy.

The puppet-like WotWots characters are computer-animated over live-action footage Episodes are filmed on location at Auckland Zoo, Wellington Zoo and Melbourne Zoo, as well as undisclosed beach and farm regions.
