Plot
The show follows the everyday life of five-year-old Roy O'Brien, a hyperactive and playful little boy. Little Roy is a live action/animation hybrid with Roy as the main character. Each episode will follow a day in the life of the cartoon, as his cartoon abilities always cause some form of mayhem.
To solve his real life dilemma, Roy escapes into his imagination. He takes on the persona of 'Wonder Roy', and with his friend Finn, he plays out his particular predicament of the day and finds a solution.
Tristan and his family are going on holiday, so Roy tries to earn enough money to pay for his own family holiday.
