Club Penguin: Animated Adventures is a Canadian-British-American children's animated series co-developed by RocketSnail Productions and Disney Television Animation. It premiered around 2009/2010 as part of a promotion set for the MMO (massively multiplayer online game) it's based on, Club Penguin. The show was originally made for a 5-13 year old audience, and it covers most, if not all of the classic game's history.
Synopsis[]
The original story takes place on October 2005, and it's about the adventures of a young boy named Zack Maddox, his younger sister Krista, and his two best friends, Declan Andersen and Cara Peng, as they try to survive being at Antarctica, a continent they were dropped off to while arriving at the wrong destination for their field trip at Turin, which is about studying the facts of the 2006 Winter Olympics. When these human kids meet up with penguin residents of Antarctica, discoveries, observations of the Island habitats, and adventures await them when Club Penguin Island is formed!
Later on during the 2nd part of the 3rd Season, a new neighbor girl on the block named Marley Burnham moves in next to Zack and Krista's house and soon joins the group after being convinced by Zack to be friends with them along with Declan and Cara, and their other good friends by her side as well.

He's also the oldest of the group.
