‘Morphle and the Magic Pets’ Is Coming to Disney+ and Disney Junior
Disney is getting set to launch a new CGI-animated series titled Morphle and the Magic Pets on March 20.
The show is produced by Moonbug Entertaiment and Disney Branded Teleivison and will debut on Disney Junior and Disney+ in the United States before rolling out globally. Interestingly, the series will not come to China.
“We have big aspirations for the franchise, fueled by Morphle’s transformational powers and the richness of the magic pet universe. This year we are supercharging growth across new audience touchpoints, and are delighted to share Morphle and the Magic Pets with families across the globe,” Olivia Chausson, General Manager of Morphle at Moonbug Entertainment said.
‘Morphle’ is Coming to TV
Morphle and the Magic Pets will follow the adventures of Mila and her stepbrother, Jodie, and Morphle, Mila’s magical and loyal pet who has the power to transform into whatever she imagines. Together, the trio use their skills, smarts, and magic to solve problems and find “magic matches” for each visitor.
Based on the popular Morphle YouTube hit, the new series will comprise 52 seven-minute episodes and 50 three-minute shorts. The new Disney show is being touted as an “evolution” of the original series.
Morphle was originally a short-form three-minute YouTube series. With the new show, Disney hopes to allow the pets to have bigger personalities. They also want to allow kids to embark on more in-depth adventures.
“At Disney Junior, we are always looking for new ways to connect with our young audience of preschoolers and their families. We knew Morphle was already a big hit on YouTube with our core audience of kids 3-5. And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Moonbug team to build out the world and characters,” Alyssa Sapire, Senior Vice President, Development, Series & Strategy, Disney Junior said.
Morphle and the Magic Pets is being co-developed by Mark Palmer (Hello Ninja) and Consulting Producer Jill Sanford (Go! Go! Cory Carson). Nick Confalone serves as Story Editor.
