Cubeez is a British animated preschool education television series that was broadcast between 2000 and 2001 on GMTV's Kids. It is aimed at pre-school children aged 2–5. The four box-like characters, Bozz, Doody, Dink and Tizzy are accompanied on their adventures by a talking paintbrush (voiced by Marc Silk) and a variety of other characters.

The show was animated using Alias Wavefront Maya. Each episode has a strong educational element and features live-action footage of children.
