Nancy Kanter, Executive Vice President Original Programming and General Manager, Disney Junior Worldwide said: "The incredibly talented team at Brown Bag Films has created an engaging series for Disney Junior that delivers everyday life lessons and models positive family and community relationships that are relatable to audiences around the world. A second season will build off of this terrific start and create even more connections with kids and families."
