The doctor is in…and she will launch the 24-hour Disney Junior channel this March (read here for more details about the new 24-hour Disney Junior channel). Doc McStuffins is an imaginative animated series about six-year-old Dottie “Doc” McStuffins, who communicates with and heals stuffed animals and toys out of her backyard clinic. The series will highlight the importance of taking care of oneself and others, while showcasing the hallmarks of great Disney storytelling – fantasy and wish fulfillment.
The Hollywood Health & Society division of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center will serve as the health and medical consultant for the series, advising on core health issues that are relevant to young kids and families. Emmy Award-winning writer Chris Nee (Little Bill”) is the creator and executive producer and Emmy Award-winning Norton Virgien (Rugrats) is the director. Doc McStuffins is a production of the Dublin, Ireland-based Academy Award-nominated animation studio Brown Bag Films (Granny O’Grimm, Give Up Yer Aul Sins) in association with Disney Channel. This is sure to be a fun and educational addition to the growing Disney Junior programming!This post was written as a personal opinion piece and without pay.
