New Muppet Babies Coming to Disney Junior; Cartoon Network Comedy Gets 5 Week-Run
Jenny Slate (Disney's Academy Award(R)-winning Zootopia) will voice the iconic role of Miss Nanny in Disney Junior's reimagined Muppet Babies, premiering this March on Disney Channel. Slate will bring to life the voice of the Muppet Babies' loving and playful caregiver, a character originally voiced by legendary actress, the late Barbara Billingsley (Leave it to Beaver). Almost 30 years after the Muppet Babies first stole the hearts of kids and families around the world, the series chronicles the hilarious playroom antics of the young Kermit the Frog, Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal and brand-new Muppet Baby, Summer Penguin.
As in the original Emmy(R) Award-winning series, Miss Nanny will only be visible from the torso down. Adding a new touch to the reimagined series, the pattern of Miss Nanny's tights will change in each episode to reveal the story's theme. As always, Miss Nanny gently and cheerfully encourages the Muppet Babies to use their imaginations to explore the farthest corners of the universe and to utilize their creative thinking to solve most any problem.
Best friends Apple and Onion, the eponymous characters of Cartoon Network's comedy Apple & Onion, make their debut with a special double premiere on Friday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT). The fun new series, which stems from the global Artists Program, will introduce besties Apple and Onion who have decided to leave their hometowns to experience big city living. With Apple's uncontainable enthusiasm and Onion's outlandish imagination, the two pals embark on hilarious misadventures, often bringing fresh and unexpected insights into today's modern life. Apple & Onion is created by George Gendi and executive produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
With a special limited run, fans can splurge on back-to-back new episodes every Friday at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) through March 23. For those who want to get a first look, catch the first two new episodes of Apple & Onion beginning Friday, Feb. 16 on the Emmy-winning Cartoon Network App and VOD. In the debut episode "A New Life," the series introduces how Apple and Onion meet one another for the very first time. Then, in the "The Perfect Team," a stray cat causes Onion to worry his relationship with Apple is in jeopardy.
