– Pre-schoolers and young children learn through music and fun in Bunnytown, a new 26-episode series from a renowned production team with credits on The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street. Bunnytown premieres Sunday, January 13th at 7:30 a.m. and airs subsequently on Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. This music-and-humour-filled half hour is available exclusively on Playhouse Disney, the new commercial-free channel that will engage young children through entertaining, learning-focused programming.
Set in a bustling world where laughter rules, the carrot-loving citizens of Bunnytown create a fun-filled, comedic learning environment. The cast of characters in Bunnytown includes a superhero, inventor, caveman, mischief-maker and rock star. The bunnies play, sing, dance, hike and go on picnics and even blast into space. Some of the more curious bunnies burrow their way out of Bunnytown through colorful tunnels and emerge in the neighbouring Peopletown to observe the antics of humans.
Each half-hour episode features a wide range of original music including hip-hop, disco, country, jazz and light opera. The Bunnytown Band, which was inspired by the look and sounds of Earth, Wind and Fire and Sly and the Family Stone, are present in every episode, performing their greatest hits such as “The Bunnytown Hop” and “Making Music.”
The series’ educational curriculum is designed to support children as their understanding of, appreciation for, and participation in humour burgeons during the preschool years. The series includes early academic skills such as counting, shapes and vocabulary and places them in humourous context.
Bunnytown was created and is executive-produced by David Rudman, Todd Hannert and Adam Rudman (each of Spiffy Pictures) and is produced by Martin Baker and Pete Coogan at Elstree Film Studios in the UK. Bunnytown is a production of Baker Coogan Productions. Todd Hannert and Terry Fryer are co-musical directors and composers.
