Disney Junior is our family’s go-to channel when the kids get to enjoy a little restful TV time. Not only do both of my kids (ages 2 and 4-almost-5) love shows like “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse”, “Doc McStuffins”, “Octonauts”, and “Jake and the Neverland Pirates” – but as a parent, I do too! The shows are cute, fun, entertaining – and most importantly for me, they teach great lessons. I’m pretty sure my daughter learned how to count to ten from Jake, and that my son knows more about marine life than I do from watching the Octonauts (which he pronounces with a British accent). With great programming like this, kids and parents everywhere should start getting excited for a brand new animated series coming in 2014 called “Sheriff Callie’s Wild West.”
Sheriff Callie (voiced by Mandy Moore from Disney’s “Tangled”) is a lovable calico cat sheriff who keeps the peace in her frontier town of Nice and Friendly Corners using her noodle lasso and cowgirl know-how. Whether teaching her trusty deputy Peck (a woodpecker voiced by Lucas Grabeel of “High School Musical”) a lesson about good sportsmanship through a game of horseshoes, or helping her horse Sparky regain his confidence after he slips and falls during a barrel race, Callie always comes to the aid of her townsfolk and in the process, imparts lessons about good morals, manners, and social ethics for kids ages 2-7. Check out this sneak peak by clicking here.
If you just can’t wait till the series premieres on Disney Junior next year, then you are in luck because it is already available for verified viewers on WATCHDisneyJunior.com and the WATCH Disney Junior app for smartphones and tablets. (To find out if you are a verified viewer – download the app, or visit the website and check out the list of TV providers, sadly mine is not one now, but I’ll be keeping my eye out for it to show up!)
I can’t wait for this show to air – and we will keep you updated as more information is released! Are you and your kid’s looking forward to meeting Sheriff Callie? What are some of your kid’s other favorite Disney Junior shows?
