MUMBAI:Family entertainment producer and distributor The Jim Henson Company has partnered with preschool television channel Sprout and Northern Ireland‘s Sixteen South for the co-production of 26 half-hour episodes of the new preschool series, Pajanimals. 
 
The series, which will air exclusively in the US on Sprout later this year, will feature four cuddly musical puppets.

The characters in the show are Sweetpea Sue the pony, the excitable duck Squacky, the creative cow CowBella and the optimistic puppy Apollo. They were designed and built by Jim Henson‘s Creature Shop from original concepts by Los Angeles-based toy and clothing designer, artist Jeff Muncy (Pet Alien).

The show will follow the adventures of the four sweet and gentle characters. Through their imaginary journeys, the Pajanimals will model the skills preschoolers need to move through their days and nights successfully.

Along the way, the Pajanimals discover how cozy and safe nighttime can really be when accompanied by friendship and songs.
