PBS Kids has announced that it will develop a SECOND animated series based on their beloved children's classic Mister Fred Rogers Neighborhood. Donkey Hodie is set to premiere in 2021 produced by The Fred Rogers Company Productions and Spiffy Pictures and created by Spiffy Pictures founders Adam & David Rudman and Todd Hannart.
Like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, it will feature a shrunken-down animated version of the original puppet characters, 2 11-minute stories in each episode, amazing life lessons and will contain both new original songs and remakes of songs from the Fred Rogers archives.
Speaking of Spiffy Pictures, the Rudman Brothers and Hannart have recently created Frankie and Frank which has recently been imported to the Noggin app in the USA.
As for Donkey Hodie, It's currently unknown how many episodes the first season will include, what voice actors will participate in the production or if the series will include the classic songs written and composed by Fred Rogers, including the theme songs "Wont You Be My Neighbor?" and "It's Such A Good Feeling" like what happened in the Daniel Tiger series.
Donkey Hodie premieres next winter on PBS stations and 24/7 PBS Kids channel
