Everything's Rosie is a British animated children’s TV series. The series was developed by Vickie Corner for V&S Entertainment Ltd. for CBeebies and Baraem (Series 1-2) and produced in HD CGI animation.^[1] The series follows the adventures of a little girl named Rosie and her friends.^[2] Four series have been aired along with a special episode "When You Wish Upon an Oak". Everything’s Rosie is broadcast on CBeebies in the UK and internationally across 160 territories.^[3]

Rosie, the protagonist, is a ragdoll-like child who has educational adventures. She and her friends including a young girl, a blue rabbit, a bear, trees, and a bird teach viewers simple lessons as they play and learn while also getting into various adventures in a colourful 3-D animated world.

• Rosie is the lead character, a girl with ribbons for hair as well as a button at the top of her head. She is voiced by Harriet Moran in seasons 1–3 and Joanna Ruiz in Season 4.
• Raggles is a blue rabbit who is Rosie’s best friend. Raggles has a zipper on his tummy where he likes to keep his favourite things. He is voiced by Emma Tate.
• Holly is a sweet, polite young girl who has blonde hair tied in pigtails and a pink dress as well as a purple bow with small yellow polka dots. She is voiced by Teresa Gallagher.
• Will is a condescending, obnoxious boy who has ginger hair, a red shirt & a pair of jeans; he likes riding his Go Speeder and playing with his football. Will is very whiny, but nobody has the heart to discipline him. He is voiced by Teresa Gallagher.
• Big Bear is a large teddy bear who loves to cook, build & explore with the other friends. He is voiced by Wayne Forester.
• Bluebird is a petulant and egotistical bird who believes she has magical powers and has large vocabulary. When she, Teal & Manny are together, they usually act like dramatic and/or sulky toddlers. She is voiced by Emma Tate.
• Oakley is an ancient old oak tree who sits on a hill near Rosie's house. Oakley is where Bluebird's nest is usually seen, and where the Little Acorns live. He is voiced by Wayne Forester.

• Archie is a cute, friendly talking chameleon who can become invisible instead of changing colour. Archie's common catchphrase is "Ay, caramba" and he is capable of speaking Spanish.
• Little Acorns are a high-pitched giggling trio of acorns who live on one of Oakley's branches, and like to bounce on Raggles' head.
• Little Bear is Big Bear's nephew who occasionally comes to visit his uncle.
• Saffie is a Cedar of Lebanon and sits in a dip beside The Studio, and makes quotes throughout episodes.
• Teal is a duck with a scouse accent. She likes to point out things that are involved in her sentence.
• Manny is a cheeky, mischievous and stubborn bird. He has a croaky voice.
• The Mordys are a family of dormice. They have one son and one daughter.
• The Dartys are well spoken geckos with high standards and an aloof air. They like to shrug most of the time, but only when confused.
• Mat and Nat are two beavers who have set up home at the Beaver Dam near the waterfall.
• Monty is a cheeky monkey who lives in the branches of the Grand Old Oak in the middle of the magical forest. He wears blue dungarees.
• Grand Old Oak is the oldest oak tree who is surrounded by a ring of cool water in the middle of a forest.
• Auntie Bear is either Big Bear's or Little Bear's auntie, she is unseen but mentioned in "Big Bear In A Spin".
• Grandfather Bear is Big Bear's grandfather. Like Auntie Bear, he is unseen but mentioned in "Across The Universe".

• The Playhouse is a large pink dome with a helter skelter-esque slide surrounding it. It is where Rosie & Raggles live and is the largest house in Rosie's world.
• Oakley's Hill is the highest hill in Rosie's world, and judging by its name, the hill is where Oakley was planted.
• Big Bear's Den is a big house with ivy growing along the interior walls. Big Bear has his own bed and has the largest garden in Rosie's world.
• The Playground is a large area in Rosie's world. There is a big roundabout, a seesaw, orange and yellow swings, a fountain and a sandpit.
• The Picnic Area is an area in Rosie's world. There are seats and a table, which are all sculpted from trees. The Picnic Area merges into the forest surrounding Rosie's world.
• The Maze is an area in Rosie's world. The maze's walls are made from hedges, and there is a flagpole in the centre, with surrounding buttons that raise the characters' flags.
• The Orchard is a large orchard in front of the playhouse. There are bozberry bushes, apple trees and plum trees, which the characters use to make food.
• The Podswings are near the playhouse and is held up with bamboo, which holds the pod-like seats which the characters like to swing and spin in.
• The Stream is a narrow stream that flows through Rosie's world. Matt and Nat the Beavers and Teal are often seen near the stream with their dams and nest.
• The Showground is located behind Oakley's hill. It is a large blue pitch made of rings and circles, and can turn into different structures, including skating rinks and tennis courts.
• The Studio is a blue semi-detached house implanted in the ground. One half is where Will upgrades his Go-Speeder and invents strange things, and the other half is where Holly keeps all her art equipment.
