‘Muppet Babies’ Will Be Back to Entertain a New Generation of Young TV Viewers

A co-production between Disney Junior, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media’s Content & Media Group, and The Muppets Studio, the CG-animated series will follow the playroom antics of Kermit the Frog, Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal and Miss Nanny.

“We are proud, and a little bit giddy, to begin production on our new version of the much-loved ‘Muppet Babies,'” said Nancy Kanter, executive vice president of original programming and general manager of Disney Junior worldwide.

Parents will be delighted in seeing their favorite Muppets in the mixed animation style they remember from the original series, and kids will be introduced to this warm and zany world made just right for the Disney Junior audience.

Created by the late Jim Henson, the Muppets were acquired by the Walt Disney Company in 2004.

[...] they have starred in TV specials and movies, most recently ABC’s primetime series “The Muppets.”

Bringing ‘Muppet Babies’ to Disney Junior is a wonderful opportunity to reach a new generation of viewers and to creatively build on the innovative original series, said Debbie McClellan, vice president of The Muppets Studio.
