Disney is continuing their relationship with The Muppets. The network has begun production on a reimagined “Muppet Babies” television series, which chronicles the playroom antics of the Muppet favorites, Kermit the Frog, Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal and Miss Nanny.
A co-production between Disney Junior, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media’s (DCPI) Content & Media group, and The Muppets Studio, the CG-animated series is slated to debut on Disney Junior in early 2018.
The audience for the new series is pre-school age – kids 4-7. Each episode will feature two 11-minute stories that follow the Muppet Babies on various adventures – from building a time machine to flying through outer space – as they let their imaginations take them to the farthest corners of the universe. The stories are designed to highlight creative and critical thinking skills by harnessing the power and potential of imaginative play.
