'''''Mixy''''' was an [[Australian]] [[program block]] on the [[Australian Broadcasting Company|ABC]] that hosts Mixy Rabbit from [[The Ferals]]. After the Ferals' series ended, Mixy has been used as a host for her new program block and introducing the shows in the morning.
In 2000, the puppeteer Mal Heap, who played Modigliana the cat from The Ferals, introduced the role of Joe the Kangaroo alongside Mixy.
After the programming block finished in July 2002, Mixy kept appearing in ABC idents and her own website episodes until around the mid-2000s.
