    GT135 - Hugalina and Kissalina and the Pink Lake of Senegal

    01/06/2026 | 33 mins.

    Hugalina and Kissalina are the most affectionate twin Goops in all of Goop World — Hugalina hugs everything in sight whether it asks for it or not, and Kissalina never meets anything without first reaching for her shimmering pot of vanilla lip balm. When a mysterious glowing pink rock at the edge of the meadow hums back at them, the twins do the only thing they know how to do: Hugalina wraps it in her gold-trimmed blanket and Kissalina presses her lips to its surface — and the rock pulls them both straight into its rosy center.
    They land with an enormous splash in the extraordinary bubblegum-pink waters of Lake Retba in Senegal, where salt harvesters move through the shallows with flat baskets on their heads and pink pelicans stand unbothered on the shore. But when a fallen basket disturbs the living microorganisms that give the lake its color, the water turns a deep, ominous red — and something beneath the surface begins to pull.
    Will Kissalina's most prized possession be enough to calm a lake that has been alive longer than anyone can remember? And what does a Senegalese salt harvester know about love that the twins are only just beginning to understand? This is a story about the most powerful force in the world — and it isn't strength, and it isn't cleverness.

    GT134 - Matho and the Nemo Science Museum

    03/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    Your kid can pick the next Goop! Go to Vote — takes 20 seconds, and you'll get our free screen guide just for voting.
    Follow Matho, a brilliantly obsessive little Goop boy whose mind never stops calculating, as he gets swept up into a spinning vortex of numbers and lands inside the legendary NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Armed with only his trusty abacus and his ruler socks, Matho must solve his way through a maze of glowing equations -- but the more he solves, the more the numbers multiply. Can a golden-eyed barn owl named Sofie, and a warm Dutch stroopwafel, teach Matho that knowing when to stop is the greatest math problem of all?

    GT133 - Imaginativa And the Painted Polish Village

    25/01/2026 | 35 mins.
    In the whimsical world of Goop Tales, Imaginativa possesses the most vivid imagination of all the Goops. While other students doze off during Miss Wigglebutt's boring lectures, Imaginativa transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary visions. When she picks up her magical binoculars and a mysterious paintbrush in her playroom, she paints a blue door in mid-air and steps through it, vanishing into another dimension entirely. Imaginativa finds herself in Zalipie, Poland—a real village where every surface bursts with hand-painted flowers in brilliant reds, yellows, and greens. But when she discovers a haunting blank wall guarded by creeping vines and a terrifying painted squid, she becomes trapped. A friendly golden sunflower warns her that this wall once held the most beautiful paintings in the entire village, until something stole its light and buried it deep underground.
    Can Imaginativa's powerful imagination defeat the sinister squid and restore the wall's stolen brilliance? Or will she remain trapped in the painted village forever, unable to return home to Goop World?
