The special episode from Fred Rogers Productions reimagines Daniel Tiger and his dad as puppets when they leave the Neighborhood of Make-Believe to visit Donkey Hodie and her pals in Someplace Else; airs August 11 on PBS Kids.
Created through traditional hand-drawn animation as well as VR puppeteering, rendered 3D assets, motion tracking, and AI tools, the show, about a dysfunctional family of birds who host a talk show, will release across social platforms.
The Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation will fund two fellows at new center based in the Film / Animation / Video department; Cheryl Henson will support a visiting puppeteer.
