Do, Re & Mi is an Amazon Original animated series for preschoolers that centers on the musical adventures of three best birdie buddies — voiced by Bell, Tohn and Youngblood. Featuring delightful adventures and toe-tapping original songs spanning multiple genres, the series takes little ones on a journey where they will discover new sounds and melodies, move to the beat, and see how music helps solve every problem!
Executive produced by Bell, Tohn, Michael Scharf, and Ivan Askwith, as well as Nicolas Atlan and Terry Kalagian of Gaumont, Do, Re & Mi is a production of Amazon Studios and Gaumont for Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Kids+.

The line will include plush toys of Do the owl, Re the hummingbird and Mi the blue jay, as well as interactive musical instruments, playsets and more that incorporate the themes of friendship, adventure and the positive power of music.
