Moonbug Entertainment and Disney’s new animated series Morphle and the Magic Pets will unleash their special brand of mischief on Disney Junior and Disney+ next month. Deadline reports that the CG-animated series will premiere on the Mouse outlets in the U.S. on March 20 and will debut globally at a later date this year.
The new show is based on Arthur van Merwijk’s My Magic Pet Morphle and co-developed by Mark Palmer (Hello Ninja) and consulting producer Jill Sanford (Go! Go! Cory Carson). Nick Confalone (Helpsters) is the show’s story editor. The first season of the show has 52 seven-minute shows and 50 three-minute shorts.
The series follows the adventures of Mila and her stepbrother, Jordie, as they leap into a world of adventure with the help of Morphle, Mila’s magical and loyal pet who has the power to morph into whatever she imagines. The three central characters use their skills and smarts to keep magic pets out of mischief, solve problems and find ‘magic matches’ for each newcomer.
Candle Media-owned Moonbug is best known for YouTube hits such as CoComelon and Blippi. Morphle and the Magic Pets began as short-form three-minute YouTube series, Morphle.
