Premise

In the year 3010 on the fictional Goat Calendar, the ancestor of the goat clan, Ruan Mianmian (or Old Mandy), arrives at Green Green Grassland to escape the wolves. The goats built a tall iron gate outside their village and called it 'Goat Village'. This leaves the wolves to try and break in any way they can. One day, a wolf suggests that they exercise until they are thin enough to squeeze through the bars. With this strategy, the wolf ancestor, Wu Dalang (Fitter), manages to get through, only to die after swallowing a huge rock covered in wool, mistaking it for a big sheep. After this incident, the wolves learned not to make the goats of Green Green Grassland angry, for there will be consequences. 503 years later in the year 3513, the descendant of Wu Dalang, Wolffy, moves to the opposite of the river separating the forest and the Goat Village with his wife Wolnie. Wolffy demonstrates poor hunting ability and is scorned, being regarded as not a proper wolf. They move there in hope of finding a way to eat the goats, as tales told by ancestors say that the goats there are the best and tastiest. The goats live in the Green Green Grassland happily. The main characters are depicted as school-aged goats that attend school under the tutelage of Slowy, the village elder. Weslie and his friends are portrayed as playful primary school kids, each of whom has his/her own unique characteristic. Tibbie is a fashionable young female goat who is always worrying about her looks and esteem. Sparky is a young male goat who likes to work out; he has a crush on Tibbie. Paddi is a cute male goat who likes to relax. Paddi is one of the most popular characters in the series. There are many other young, anonymous goats, as well as their teacher Slowy, an old goat referred to as the "Village Chief", who is a scientist and develops machines to protect their school. He is slower than a snail and uses a walking stick. Wolffy and Wolnie live in a castle far from the village and are constantly trying to hunt the goats for food. However, the goats in this time are intelligent and powered with technology. Each episode, Wolffy concocts a plan to catch the goats. Among the goat students, a smart male goat named Weslie always finds a way to ruin Wolffy's plans and save the goats. With the effort of Weslie and his friends, Wolffy never captures any goats. At the end of each episode, Wolffy always promises to come back, each time shouting his catchphrase: 'Darn goats! I will definitely come back again!' The conflict between Wolffy and Weslie never ends. Although Wolffy fails all the time, he never gives up. While he is mean to the goats, he is a nice and timid husband to Wolnie and a great dad to his son, Wilie. Wolnie is somewhat impatient and enjoys making her husband do all the work. She rarely tries to catch the goats herself (failing every time as well), but always yells at her husband. She likes fashion, is fixated on eating goats, and loves to hit Wolffy with her frying pan. Despite this fact, deep down Wolnie still loves her husband.

() :Voiced by: Gao Quansheng :Slowy is an adult goat that serves as a village elder. His name is pun on "slow and steady", implying that while slow, he also harbors a steady wisdom. He functions as the only adult figure in the story, and not only serving as the head of the lamb village, but also as the schoolmaster. He often uses trickery to teach his students valuable lessons about life, and often sends them on assignments. There is a small plant on top of his head that grows whenever he thinks. Outside of the school yard, he is shown as a goat of many pursuits, creating wacky inventions and performing questionable experiments with humorous results. In addition, when he thinks too hard, his head will begin to grow leaves. :His character design is partially inspired by

, with wild frizzy hair, a mustache, and a pair of spectacles. Paddi () :Voiced by: Liang Ying :A small, gluttonous goat wearing a yellow drool bib. He hates working and likes to sleep, and due to his lazy nature, he is often the first caught by Wolffy. He is also very greedy and is often either sleeping or eating. Paddi is one of the most intelligent of all of the goats, although this is concealed by his laziness. He also has a habit of falling asleep whenever Wolffy kidnaps the goats. He is sometimes a bit selfish. He has been revealed to hold a varying number of hidden talents throughout the show, such as diving. Wolffy's son, Wilie, has an attachment to him, and will often address him as "Brother Paddi". Originally, Paddi was intended to be the main protagonist of the show, but due to "Lazy" having a negative connotation, Weslie was made the main protagonist instead. Tibbie () :Voiced by: Deng Yuting :A female goat in Green Green Grassland, who always wears pink bows on her horns and pink shoes and a pink scarf with a white line. She is one of Slowy's students and is generally liked by all the goats in Green Green Grassland. Tibbie is shown to be the most emotional goat and often cries, needing to be calmed down by her friends. Tibbie is shown to dislike caterpillars, roaches, or bugs, but she likes applying make-up, cooking and crafting flower wreaths, attracting other animals to her beauty. Tibbie is usually gentle, kind, and sweet to her friends, but is serious when she is angry. Her best friend is Jonie and likes to do various activities with her, such as dressing up in pretty clothes. Sparky () :Voiced by: Liu Hongyun, Yan Yanzi : Sparky is the only dark-skinned goat. He is a school-aged goat that attends the same school as Weslie. Sparky is depicted as a jock character. He is the strongest of his group and enjoys sports and showing off his strength to others. He is quick-tempered and quick to act, often charging headlong into dangerous situations. He likes to pick on Paddi, but occasionally still treats him as a friend. Sparky's best friend is Weslie and likes to help him get rid of Wolffy when he tries to attack the goats. Despite his strength, he is still physically weaker than Wolffy. He is very afraid of cockroaches. Jonie () : Voiced by: Deng Yuting : She is a docile and kind female goat who is class president of Weslie's class in school. She is revealed in the Olympics special to possess mountain goat genes, effectively making her the strongest goat in Goat Village above Sparky. She is the most sensible goat, but can sometimes be talkative. She is friends with Jay, and best friends with Tibbie. Like Tibbie, Jonie is usually gentle and kind. She tends to scold the boy goats (Weslie, Sparky, and Paddi) but still hangs out and cares for them. She has a small pink heart-shaped satchel that she wears as well as a matching ribbon and red shoes. She has a purple pet owl called 'Nuan-Nuan' (warm-warm). Stacy () : Voiced by: Yan Yanzi : She was Slowy's first love when they were young. In one episode, the goats bring Stacy to Goat Village through the time machine Slowy invented. She paints her horns pink and wears pretty pink petaled flowers (with yellow smiley faces in the middle) on them. She wears a purple purse, pink shoes, and a pink choker. She has short ponytails with bells on them. As an adult, she had pretty bangs. Tibbie became slightly jealous of her because she was more beautiful when she was in Goat Village. She is gentle and sweet, with a soft voice and a beautiful tone. She is also mentioned by Slowy in the sixth movie.

Slowy, Xiyu Daoyang, etc. are all Ruan Mianmian's apprentices and are the great heroes among the sheep.

He also created the Candy Kingdom. He first appeared in ''Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Year of the Rabbit'', and fell into the dragon world due to a malfunction of the space-time accelerator. Lily () : Weslie's mother and Smarc's husband. Before joining Smarc on the space mission, she was a well-known singer. She normally wears a sparkling blue dress, and also wears bells (identical to the one that Weslie wears on his neck) as earrings.


Wolves

Wolffy () :Voiced by: Zhang Lin :Wolffy is the main antagonist of the series. Like the Goats, his name is a literal pun, as "" or is a common Japanese given name meaning "first son", with "Grey" being his family name. Wolffy is the 250th generation grandson of Wu Dalang, the ancestor of the wolf clan, and the king of the wolves of the Green Green Grassland. He is very smart but conceited, claiming that he is the greatest inventor in the Green Green Grassland. He wears an orange cap with a yellow patch and has a scar under his eye. Wolffy is a middle-aged, hen-pecked husband who lives with his demanding wife, Wolnie, in a castle on the outskirts of Goat Village in Green Green Grassland. Wolffy is usually motivated solely by fear of his wife, and he is constantly under her demand to bring home goats for food. He is a good cook and always makes delicious dishes for his family. :A rather bumbling character, he always concocts elaborate plans and creates fanciful traps to catch the goats, with limited success. He usually ends up being outwitted by the goats, and is often unable to find loopholes in his overly complex plans. His failures to obtain food are met by angry scoldings from his wife and slapstick violence, such as being hit over the head with a frying pan. Even so, his love for Wolnie never wavers. Since he is always unable to catch any goats, his wolf identity (like a nationality, which provides social security and medical benefitsReference: Moon Castle: The Space Adventure) has been revoked many times by the wolf pack. :Wolffy himself lacked any real desire to catch the goats at first, and only did so in an attempt to appease and impress his wife. He will readily abandon his hunt should some other means appear that will likely impress his wife more. His catchphrase (which he utters in one form or another each episode) is "Darn goat! I'll definitely come back/ I'll come back for sure/ I'll be back/ I'll get my revenge!" (mostly "I'll be back" in later seasons, which is based on ''

In China, sometimes he is seen as a respectable cartoon character by older generations because of his faithfulness to his wife and persistence on catching goats despite repeated failure. :In one episode, Wolffy invites his uncle to stay, but he fears losing face in front of him because of Wolnie's violence. He convinces his wife to pretend to be submissive while the uncle was there. However, at the end of the episode when the uncle leaves, Wolnie gives him a good thrashing "to compensate for all the time she missed out on hitting him". Wolnie () :Voiced by: Zhao Na :The

He likes to go out hunting with his father but gets lost most of the time. He plays a large role in the first four movie, ''The Super Adventure'', ''Desert Trek: The Adventure of the Lost Totem'', ''Moon Castle: The Space Adventure'', and ''Mission Incredible: Adventures on the Dragon's Trail''. :He also forms a mostly one-sided friendship with Paddi, and affectionately calls him "Brother Paddi". Their relationship is highlighted in the second and fifth movie. He has an attachment to Paddi, but he also likes the other goats, addressing Weslie as "Brother Weslie", Tibbie as "Sister Tibbie", and so on. :After he is expelled from the wolf school, his father reluctantly enrolls him in the goat school, where he becomes friends with all the other goats, occasionally aiding them in their struggle against Wolffy. Huang Tailang () :Voiced by: Zhang Lin :Wolffy's grandfather. Like his grandson, he is often abused by his wife (usually via getting things thrown at his head). Hei Tailang () :Wolffy's Father.

Jay () :Voiced by: Liu Hongyun :He is a large, mild-mannered wolf who is a vegetarian obsessed with bananas. He befriends Jonie, who likes to provide him with bananas. He was forced to marry Fragrant Wolf, but after he realizes Fragrant was as cruel as Wolnie when they were at the Central Carnival Park, he decided not to and fled from his wedding saying, "I DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Even Wolffy warned him not to marry Fragrant because he got married the exact same way with his wife as Banana almost married Fragrant.) He is the nephew of Wolffy. Xiang Tailang () :Voiced by: Deng Yuting :Xiang Tailang is the cousin of Wolnie. She is a young female wolf with rainbow hoop earrings and a pink dress. She has a crush on Jay, and almost marries him, but ends up marrying Ye Tailang (Wolffy's cousin) at her wedding, who was secretly in love with her. Her name is likely a reference to Xiang Fei, a favored concubine of the Qianlong Emperor. Her weapon tends to be two irons. She is very cruel, much like her cousin Wolnie. Wu Dalang () :The ancestor of the wolf clan and the archrival of Old Mandy, the ancestor of the goat clan. In episode 499, it was revealed that he was the one who gave Wolffy his scar during a time traveling shenanigan.


Others

Crazy Brother or Jolly () :Voiced by: Zu Liqing :Jolly is an egg with a face. He has a carefree and easygoing personality but is not always intelligent. An occult enthusiast and a joker, his catch phrase is "I'll put a curse on you!" while drawing circles into the ground with a stick. (Once, the drawn circle lit up and granted him powers to shoot laser beams out of his hands.) He enjoys teasing Paddi's pet by saying: "you unfinished egg!" Jolly also has many costumes that he changes into in special occasions. He and his brother, Darky, can merge and become an ultimate powerful egg. (When this happens, the resulting combination looks like Jolly but with a red cape and a red underwear on his head.) Black Commander, Darky or Darton () :Voiced by: Gao Quansheng :Jolly's, black-egg younger brother.
