Newton is a main character in the show Peep and the Big Wide World.
Appearance
Newton has a large shell over his back from which his legs, head, and tail, stick out of the openings in his shell. All of Newton's skin is dark green with his four stubby legs coming from the bottom of the shell, his pointed tail at the back, and his head at the front. Newton's head is oval-shaped with a slightly pointed mouth and his head is attached to a long neck. Newton's eyes are oval shaped with black pupils and are placed half on his head and half on the individual bumps that extend from his head. Lastly, Newton's shell is yellow on the top and dark brown and divided into sections on the bottom.
Personality
Newton is believed to be the oldest animal in Peep and the Big Wide World and, as such, posses some elderly traits. Newton takes things slowly both in speech and movement which, on some occasions, leads to the annoyance of characters or predictability. Despite these traits, Newton has also been shown persisting in meeting new things such as in Newton's Big Adventure where he went out to explore and Meeting Half-way where he set out to meet Willow. Newton is often seen sleeping under his crabapple tree and is not bothered when apples fall on his head.
Information
Newton made his debut in Springy Thingy but was unnamed and appeared only at the end. Newton lives under a crabapple tree which he knew since it was a sapling. When Newton walks, he walks very slowly even if he urgently wants to go somewhere which is due to the weight of the shell on his back. Newton is frequently seen sleeping and getting hit by the apples that fall from his crabapple tree and has been shown eating them. Because of Newton having lived for so long, sometimes Peep, Chirp, and Quack will ask him for advice. Newton is shown possessing the ability to swim and propel himself through water with the aid of his legs. Newton can retract into his shell which he often does when apples are falling off his tree, or when he is sleeping.
Episode appearances
Major appearances
Newton's Big Adventure
In the morning, Newton is shown under his tree sleeping. An apple falls from the tree and hits Newton, waking him up, and causing him to move away to another area under the tree. As Newton is just getting back to sleep, another apple falls out of the tree and he sleepily gets up and sits elsewhere. Another apple falls but this time it doesn't hit causing the turtle to smile slightly in amusement only for another apple to fall on his head. Newton gets up and rubs his head and suddenly Peep and Quack appear running to his tree with Peep calling out for him. The two birds tell of their adventures and ask him what he did.
Newton then tells of how an apple fell on him and another apple did with Quack impatiently cutting him off the third time guessing that an apple fell on him again. Peep then suggests that Newton comes to have adventures with them with Newton remarking about how he doesn't move as fast as the birds and Quack hastily agreeing and dragging Peep away. Peep calls out that Newton is still invited and Newton thinks that he may be missing something when he watched Peep and Quack.
Newton decides it is time he had some adventures of his own and he sets out from his tree. While walking along, the narrator remarks that Newton thought of all the things he never saw before, causing the turtle to point out the contradiction and the narrator to point out how Newton will not see anything unless he moves. Newton discovers dandelions, which he calls his "first discovery", and walks up to a dandelion that is in seed and sneezes. The dandelion disperses and Newton, in awe, follows it only to suddenly fall into a pool of water.
Newton begins to panic at first and splash around but then calms down, spots a tree branch, and uses it as a kickboard to get himself to shore. Noticing a sloshing sound coming from the inside of his shell, Newton stands up a bit to empty the water trapped in his shell and then moves on, still after the dandelion's seed. Newton manages to pin down a dandelion seed and then steps off it as he notices a cracker box.

Trivia
