The Smoggies is a 1989 1990 animated children's television show by Cinar. The show took place on or around the fictional Coral Island, and revolved around a group of island dwelling people called the Suntots and a trio of polluting treasure hunters called the Smoggies. The Suntots spent much of their time defending their island paradise from the Smoggies, who polluted everything around them and lived on a coal fired steam ship, the SS Stinky Poo, which polluted the water and air around the island. The Smoggies constantly tried to destroy the Suntots' home for their own benefits. Almost every episode had the environmentalist Suntots outsmarting the Smoggies latest scheme, after which the Smoggies invariably hatched another scheme. Thus, the show also explains the importance of protecting the environment. A recurring theme was their attempt to steal the island's "magic coral" (which the Smoggies believed granted eternal youth), or find some alternative way to maintain youth. The show often implied that the magic coral did not actually exist, however, and were just manifestations of the Smoggies' (mainly Emma's) greed and vanity. In 1994, the show was rerun on HBO and various local broadcast channels, such as Florida's WTMV32, in the United States under the name Stop the Smoggies. and in France, as SOS Polluards. In Quebec, it was aired under the name Touftoufs et Polluards. The show was broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ2 and in the United Kingdom on the BBC under its original Canadian title. It screened in New Zealand on afternoon television on TVNZ.

Princess Lila: Somewhat taller than other Suntots, her body has more human like dimensions, as opposed to the pudginess of her subjects. Her hairstyle is also entirely different from the other Suntots and she is the only one with red hair. The rest of the Suntots regard her as a leader. Emma considers her a thorn in her side, but Princess Lila keeps trying to convince Emma that the magic coral does not exist. Speed: Somewhat daring, outspoken and headstrong for a Suntot, his fast swimming ability earned him his name. He is usually the one to think of a solution to the Suntots' problems. He has bright blue hair, and he and Princess Lila are often partners in their adventures of solving problems; they are the real heroes of the series. Chip: The brilliant orange haired engineer for the Suntots. Chip invents and builds various things, using environmentally friendly methods. A bit quieter than Speed or Princess Lila, he often joins them on their adventures, but is more of a sidekick, as he rarely takes charge of a situation. Uncle Boom: The oldest Suntot and only one with white hair. He is the self appointed mayor of Suntot Town. He makes speeches whenever he gets the chance, but is rather absent minded and bungling.

Emma: The self appointed leader of the Smoggies, she has a short temper and a fear of growing old, and is always trying to think of a scheme to get her way. She always bosses her two cohorts around, and is obsessed with finding the magic coral, thinking that that is what keeps the Suntots young. Polluto calls her "Miss Emma". She is also a bully and has no qualms about lying or being deceitful in getting her own way. Clarence: Emma's husband and the captain of a polluting coal fired ship called the Stinky Poo. He is also an inventor and scientist, but his inventions rarely work the right way. Most of the time, he is spineless towards Emma and rarely temperamental, but he can get frustrated himself if things do not work out. Polluto calls him "the Captain" or "Captain Clarence." Polluto: Clarence's only crewmate. He is rather dimwitted, as Emma always points out, but he is the Smoggie with most of the practical skills. He runs the engine room (for some reason, he eats coal and oil), and acts as cook, pilot, mechanic and custodian. He is often shown to have a warm heart, so his polluting tendencies are more related to ignorance and a desire to do his job. Sometimes he is friends with the Suntots but can just as quickly turn against them when ordered to chase them by Emma.

On 26 September 2006, a DVD entitled Stop The Smoggies Anti Pollution Revolution DVD was released in Region 1. It contains the first four episodes of the series.

The main title theme in the English version was written by Joe Raposo, who also wrote themes for Sesame Street, Shining Time Station, Three's Company, and The Electric Company. This song was also composed by Judy Henderson, who also wrote themes for Arthur, Mona the Vampire, and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat.
