Jelly Jamm is a Spanish-British[1][2] 3D animated television series, created by Carlos L. Del Rey, Victor M. Lopez and David Cantolla. The show consists of five main characters, with Bello as the main protagonist. Jelly Jamm follows the adventures of seven characters: Bello, Goomo, Rita, Mina, Ongo, King and Queen; who live on a planet named 'Jammbo'. The planet has a music factory where all music in the universe originates from, and this music is produced continuously through bubbles. If this factory stopped, the characters would become suspended in a fixed position and be unable to move with no memory. The intention of Jelly Jamm is to "celebrate music, fun and friendship[4]", and in each episode the characters interact with each other in various games and activities, learning morals and lessons.

Jelly Jamm is a production of Vodka Capital and 737 SHAKER, two Spanish producers, based in Madrid and Segovia. The series is co-produced by RTVE, Japanese toy, action figure and video game company Bandai and home entertainment distributor BIGPICTURE.

Bello is described to have "an insatiable curiosity and boundless energy[5]" and "a driving force among his friends[5]" of whom he keeps close to, in particular ‘Goomo’, his sidekick. Among his relationships is ‘Mina’, who is like a sister to him. Bello enjoys reading comics, particularly his own comic that he draws called ‘Jammboman’. In addition to drawing, he enjoys dancing.

He is the supreme leader of the Super Jelly League. His accessories are gloves , shoes , shields , back attachment , saber handle and helmet are made of jammbonium. Even his infinistar is made of the metal. He is the 3rd greatest martialmaster in the entire universe.

Mina

Mina is a blue girl whose role is to be the brains of the group. She speaks with an unknown foreign accent, and spends time experimenting and making inventions at home as a scientific and generally curious character. These inventions, combined with her knowledge, frequently help the group, so she is a source of help when others face adversity in the adventures.[6] Mini Mina is a miniaturized mechanical part of Mina that appears in "Mina's Swing," "Goomo's Birthday" and "Look At Me!" In the episode "Party," Mina uses Mini Mina to better explain the best activities. It looks like Mina, but speaks like Mini Mina. Bello and Her fight often, but after all, they need each other. She is the most intelligent hero of the Super Jelly League.Her power's are water and ice manipulation , 4 ironium tentacles , chemical blasters , telepathic-proof helmet with a light beam.

Rita

She's a pink tender, sweet, affectionate and playful girl. Rita is a small and polite and enjoys playing dress-up with her "Princess" doll. Princess is a rag stuffed doll and Rita's best friend. She is sometimes impulsive, which leads her to ignore potential dangers. Rita loves petting Dodos, but sometimes she does it with too much emotion, and makes them flee. Luckily, the little animals run faster than her. She loves tea parties, especially with her princess doll. Her favorite people are the Queen and her hero Bello, and she someday wants to be like them. She's in love with Goomo. Rita is considered a simple younger sister.

Goomo

Goomo is a small magenta boy who is pretty sensitive, quiet and friendly. He always seeks a quick solution in any conflict to make everyone happy again. His solutions are often based only on feelings, and that makes either things out of control or completely resolved. Goomo is basically a cheerful child who expresses himself freely through dance. He is a little chubby and sometimes has a big appetite, but has shown an interest in exercise. Goomo loves his best friend Bello, and they love to play together, especially when Bello makes Goomo Jambooman and his assistant. He usually wears a helmet to hide his tousled hair. He is in love with Rita.

Ongo

Ongo is a purple character who rarely speaks, and mostly communicates through sounds, dance, and music. Being very quiet, he is depicted as highly mysterious, but still expressive. He is the most skilled musician among the characters. He lives in a 'house' which he created, consisting mainly of a couch placed among a floor plan of rooms traced in chalk on the ground, without any walls or ceilings. Some fans believe that the characther Lucy Loud from Nickelodeon's children's animated television series The Loud House was based on Ongo, which make a lot of sense, 'cause both are very similar.

The King

He is educated and wise when speaking in public, but in private he is more childish and mischievous. He loves being the king, and decrees things at random. He spends most of his time doing "real work" (of any kind), but what he likes most is to play video games or look at his amazing collection of toys and objects stored in his Gift Vault.

The Queen

She's a queen who works while the King is busy playing: organize the work of the Dodos, who adore her, and directs the Music Factory to keep running. She loves working in her garden, knitting, and playing castanets as she slightly shakes her hips. She has a strong moral sense, and therefore she is a great guide for children, though she may not always know how to respond to people's questions. According to the King, the Queen was the most naughty girl of all. The "LA-LA Plants" are a favorite of the queen (not counting the musical bamboo) that appeared in "The Instant Gardener" and "Tree Mystery."
