Highlighted by new shows BRATZ and G.I. Joe Sigma 6, the fourth season of the 4Kids TV block on FOX premieres this Saturday, Sept. 10. Also new to the lineup this fall is the popular Japanese anime series Magical DoReMi, which makes its U.S. debut courtesy of 4Kids Ent.
4Kids TV airs Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. (ET) on FOX affiliates nationwide. The block’s balanced mix of offerings for boys and girls includes returning favorites such as pirate anime series One Piece, teen witch show Winx Club, the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the video game-inspired Sonic X and Mew Mew Power.
Magical DoReMi will kick off the new Saturday lineup with its series premiere at 8 a.m., just before an all-new Mew Mew Power. BRATZ will then debut at 9 a.m., followed by new installments of Winx Club, Sonic X and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Boys can catch the premiere of G.I. Joe Sigma 6 at 11 a.m., and stick around for a new One Piece adventure at 11:30.
One of Japan’s longest-running anime series for girls, Magical DoReMi follows the adventures of Dorie, Reanne and Mirabelle, three inquisitive girls who stumble into an old witch’s shop and end up becoming apprentices. With help from their magical fairies, wands and musical melodies, the three seek to become full-fledged witches by learning to cast spells and unlocking the secrets to friendship, love and courage. The show is produced by Toei Animation, the studio behind such hit franchises as Dragonball, Digimon and One Piece.
Since they hit store shelves in 2001, more than 100 million BRATZ dolls have been sold worldwide. The animated series expands the world of fashion-conscious Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade, who get into adventures as they scoop stories for their hip teen magazine. The series is produced by MGA Ent. and animated at Mike Young Prods.
Animated by respected anime studio Gonzo, G.I. Joe Sigma Six is based on a new line of 8-inch action figures from Hasbro. The toys represent the latest incarnation of the legendary brand created by the toymaker more than 40 years ago.
