 Even though Mister Fred Rogers has now tragically lost his wife Joanne who died earlier this month, the legacy of one of PBS' biggest stars reigns on.

And on the heels on a successful nine-year-old tiger in Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood from the producer behind Blue's Clues, Super WHY!, Creative Galaxy, Wishenpoof and Colorforms Angela C. Santomero, PBS has another Fred Rogers spinoff up their hands.

After being in production and talks for over a year, the CGI Mr Rogers donkey is finally unveiled for Dot, Dash and Del's expectations. PBS and PBS Kids will OFFICIALLY premiere the new Donkey Hodie series on Monday, May 3rd.

The series is the fifth from The Fred Rogers Company Productions. Crafted by the Rudman bros and Todd Hannart team at Spiffy Pictures, the company behind Disney's Bunnytown, Nickelodeon's Curious Buddies, Frankie & Frank and Jack's Big Music Show and fellow PBS veteran Nature Cat.The new series will follow Donkey Hodie, The Purple Panda, Duck Duck Goose and Bob the Dog alongside the ORIGINAL Hodie who has became a grandma now as these five embark on new adventures that teach children educational values and social skills.

Like the previous Fred Rogers Neighborhood spinoff of Labor Day 2012, the series will include both new songs and remakes of Rogers' archive for modern day.

Additionally, to celebrate the launch, PBSKids.org, the channel's official website has just launched the OFFICIAL webpage and logo for the series.
