Disney has announced that both its upcoming preschool animation series, BeddyByes and Magicampers, will premiere this March on Disney+ and Disney Jr. in the U.S., and will roll out globally throughout the year. The theme songs and key art for both series were also revealed.
BeddyByes, a gentle series designed to support positive sleep routines for young children, will debut March 2 on Disney Jr. and Disney Jr. On Demand, with 20 episodes to stream the next day on Disney+ in the U.S. and select regions internationally. The show follows best friends MeMo and BaBa as they travel across the remarkable Planet BeddyByes, meeting new and familiar faces on their mindful and soothing journey to bedtime. It stars Noah Melo Batista as MeMo, Phoebe Dalton as BaBa, and BAFTA Award winner Dawn French as Gramma Leeba. Alan Shannon is the executive producer, Niall Mooney is the director, and Dave Ingham is the writer. Original music is from Lucie Treacher. The show is produced by JAM Media.
Magicampers, a fantastical adventure series for preschoolers, premieres March 23, on Disney Jr. and Disney Jr. On Demand, with the first six episodes available to stream the next day on Disney+ in the U.S. and select regions internationally. It follows the adventures of best friends Darly and Loomis at a day camp for magical creatures on a fantastical island. Darly is half-pig and half-Pegasus, Loomis is half-donkey and half-unicorn, and their young friends are also mythical mashups of all stripes. Every day, they go on incredible journeys of discovery and dream of becoming legendary, having their stories told and retold for all time. At the heart of the series, Darly and Loomis will learn that becoming a legend isn’t about mastering magic powers or winning the biggest prize — it’s about understanding and accepting yourself and others and working together with all kinds of friends. The cast includes Cassie Glow as Darly, Benjamin Mackey as Loomis and Mason Blomberg as Dracoon, with Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba (The Residence, Orange Is the New Black) as nature spirit and camp leader Treena. Obie Scott Wade is the creator, Sandrine Nguyen is the executive producer, Daniel Dubuis is the director, and Ashley Mendoza, Simon Nicholson and Elizabeth Kamir are writers for the series. David Fauré is the art director with original music by Christophe Henrotte. It is produced by OuiDo! Productions (formerly Mikros Animation IP) for Disney Jr.
The theme songs for BeddyByes and Magicampers were also released; Walt Disney Records released the Magicampers theme song, “We’re the Magicampers,” on all major digital platforms.
