About Shaq’s Garage
Shaq’s Garage is a new animated series for kids, starring 4-time NBA champion, rap impresario, and global icon, Shaquille O’Neal, as both himself and one of the show’s main vehicle characters, named Biggie D!
Inspired by Shaq’s real-life love of cars, Shaq’s Garage is a modern-day action series where Shaq brings his “family” of cars, known as the Shaq Paq, to life.
The series is a mix of action, adventure, and comedy featuring the Shaq Paq as they are sent by Shaq on various missions to help others and do good in their hometown community of Orlanta and beyond! The Shaq Paq is a lovable, funny and diverse cast of ten different characters, with Shaquille O’Neal as the Shaq Paq leader and the voice of giant truck, Biggie D, along with his buddy, the Gronk Mobile, voiced by NFL Superbowl champion, Rob Gronkowski (Nickelodeon's Crashletes). Every show has a lesson in it for kids, and Shaq appears in an animated wrap at the end to share the message.
