From The TV IV

The Jackson 5ive was an animated musical series airing Saturday mornings on ABC. It was the Motown pop group as cartoon figures.

The series was basically an animated sitcom with the Jacksons with the musical numbers thrown in. Accompanying the boys were two mice--Ray and Charles--and a pet snake named Rosie.

The Jacksons voiced themselves. Animation was affected in London by the Halas and Bachelor studio under the production auspices of Rankin-Bass/Videocraft. It was one of two series cited by Action for Children's Television as a quality program.
