Exciting news has arrived for the youngest Disney fans! The company's television division announced on June 8 during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival that it has renewed four popular shows for Disney Jr. and will be rolling out new Mickey and Minnie Mouse adventures that will light up your holiday season.
The cat adventure animated CGI series, SuperKitties, has been greenlit for season 4, ahead of its season 3 premiere later this year. Set in Kittydale, it portrays four kittens taking on the city's troubles and making it "purr-fectly' safe for everyone. At the end of each segment, a lesson is taught, and the young viewers are educated on why they shouldn't practice negative behaviors.
As SuperKitties is a hit among preschoolers and one of Disney Jr.'s most recognized shows, a spin-off, SuperKitties: Su-Purr Adventures, has been launched. It's a series of shorts comprising a musical number, often outside Kittydale's parameters. Like its predecessor, Su-Purr Adventures has been renewed, and for a second season.
The Disney Jr. YouTube Channel offered a sneak peek of an upcoming episode of Su-Purr Adventures. The episode features a club-beat, kid-approved dance track set in the South American jungles. It's pretty catchy, and with the bright colors and adorable characters, your little ones will be glued to the screen. If you like dancing cats and puppies, then you'll be glued too.
The animated series Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends is joining the renewal train as well, getting renewed for a sixth season. Back in March, the beloved series was renewed for a fifth season, ahead of its season 4 drop on June 16. We'll see a young Spider-Man and his allies take on the miniature versions of the villains, such as the Sandman, the Green Goblin, and Doc Ock in new heroic missions.
Ariel: The Little Mermaid and the pet robot series RoboGobo have scored second seasons. Since their respective launches, Ariel and RoboGobo have become quick favorites for kids and parents alike, as the former of the two offers nostalgia for those who grew up on the original The Little Mermaid from 1989.
As for the shorts, Playdate With Winnie the Pooh, and Disney Jr. Ariel: The Little Mermaid: Songs From the Crystal Cavern will return for a second season.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be continuing their shorts franchise as well, with three new premieres. Starting with Me and Mickey In The Clubhouse+, it's an "extension" of the Disney Jr. shorts, Me and Mickey.
Disney provided a synopsis of Me and Mickey In The Clubhouse+ and what to expect. You can read it below.
"Me and Mickey: In the Clubhouse+ invites preschoolers to come along with Mickey, Minnie, and their friends as they explore fun places in the Clubhouse, enjoy a tea party, and join Minnie as she hosts her own vlog."
And of course, you can't celebrate the holidays without our favorite mouse friends, as new sing-along specials are set to debut this season. Mickey and Minnie's Sing-Alongs: Halloween and Mickey and Minnie's Sing-Alongs: Christmas will deliver a sweet musical treat on Disney Jr. throughout the celebratory months.
