Best & Bester (Finnish: Eka & Helmi) is an animated television series created by Anttu Harlin and Joonas Utti. The series is a co-production between Gigglebug Entertainment in Finland, Eye Present in the United Kingdom, and Nelvana in Canada.

Best & Bester premiered on Nickelodeon in the UK on September 3, 2022, on YTV in Canada on September 18, 2022,[2] and on Yle TV2 via the Galaxi programming block in Finland on March 11, 2023, with episodes released on Yle Areena the same day.[3][4][5] Internationally, the series airs on Nickelodeon.

Premise[edit]

Best and Bester are twins who live in the town of Bettervale, which is inhabited by anthropomorphic objects. Due to a glitch in the object-hatching mechanism, they have the unique ability to transform into an object of their choice, once a day.
