Disney Branded Television is set to debut a new series for families called “Pupstruction” on Wednesday, June 14, on Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney+.
About the Show
“Pupstruction” is an imaginative, music-filled, animated series from Disney Branded Television that follows the adventures of the Pupstruction team – a doggone hard-working construction crew ranging from some of the brawniest breeds to irresistibly cute and playful puppies.
The show centers on crew leader Phinny, an innovative young corgi who dreams up some of the biggest and wildest ideas to help his town of Petsburg.
The other members of Pupstruction are Luna, a comically spontaneous sheepdog; Roxy, a can-do rottweiler; and Tank, a lovable, snack-obsessed mastiff.
Although Phinny might be the smallest pup on the crew, he proves that you don’t need big paws to have big ideas. Together, the Pupstruction crew uses mud, sweat, drool, and plenty of heart to build and create.
Geared towards kids ages 2-7, the series, which has already been picked up for a second season, highlights themes of teamwork, family, community, creative problem-solving, and the importance of imaginative play.
The series stars Yonas Kibreab (Pixar’s upcoming “Elio”) as Phinny, Carson Minniear (“Big City Greens”) as Tank, Scarlett Kate Ferguson (“I’m Dying Up Here”) as Roxy, and newcomer Mica Zeltzer as Luna, as well as Yvette Nicole Brown (“Firebuds”) as Mayor Gilmore, Bobby Moynihan (“Saturday Night Live”) as Bobby Boots, Grey DeLisle (“The Simpsons”) as Maya, Kari Wahlgren (“The Ghost and Molly McGee”) as Scratch, Alessandra Perez (“T.O.T.S.”) as Bailey, and Eric Bauza (“Muppet Babies”) as characters Harry, Sniff and Lloyd.
Recurring and guest star roles for season one are Olga Merediz (Broadway’s “In the Heights”) as Grandma Dee, Todrick Hall (“American Idol”) as Harvey Hare, Gabriel Iglesias (“Space Jam: A New Legacy”) as Felipe, and Nate Torrence (“Zootopia”) as Chameleo.
The Music
Each episode of “Pupstruction” features two 11-minute stories with an original song in each episode.
Those songs, along with the main title theme song, are written by series’ songwriter/composer Rob Cantor (“The Ghost and Molly McGee,” “T.O.T.S.”).
A soundtrack will be released by Disney Music on June 14, the date the series debuts.
