American Ninja Warrior + Talking Superhero Animakls = WTF Creepypasta Nightmare Fuel! - Disney Channel Orders New Animated Series Adaptation Of "Warrior Carts" Children's Books Series

Disney Channel and Walt Disney Television Animation have today announced the production of their next original animated series Warrior Cats. Set for release in early 2027, the new series is based on the award-winning children's books written and illustrated by Erin Hunter and Victoria Holmes.

In the new series, we followa team of local superhero cats working in the ninja warrior realms of Las Vegas, Nevada when they received some local calls for help and some dastardly villain idiot is trying to take over the city and murder all the animal pets in sight. With their combined strengths and powers of teamwork and self-minded peer pressure, they fight in the battle of justice and freedom.

The new series is only the second children's book adaptations series on the MAIN Disney Channel network. While children's books based TV shows on Disney's sister networks have come and gone, the last time it happened on the main network was The Wuzzles, an ABC/CBS Saturday morning children's TV series based n the 70s/80s books of the same name released in September 1985, but unfortunately the Wuzzles TV show was a major dumpster fire in the One Saturday Morning market and failed miserably getting cancelled after only one season. Hopefullly the new Warrior Cats anime will have a brither future then what happened alst time and have more effort and heart and soul put into the project.

The new series is part of the new 2026-2028 content slate of Disney programming with other projects in the works including TV series Journey, the highly-anticipated new Disney Channel and Disney+ series The Doomies due to launch next wek, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's Home Alone movie ripoff bootleg Mickey's Home Alone, stop-motion special A Proud Family Wizmas, the first ever full-length episode of the hit miniseries Minnie's Bow Toons: Pet Hotel - The Summer Special and the upcoming series finale of the hit Disney+ reboot The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder due for releease next month.

This summer, Nickelodeon's PAW Patrol is making a Disney Ice Age ripoff with the most highly anticiopated preschool movie sequel of the year. Paramount and Nickelodeon today have launched the official full theatrical trailer for their new sequel film PAW Patrol III: The Dino Rescue Movie, a theatrical motion picture ripoff of the show's "Dino Rescue" story arc from Season 7 in 2020.

However, that stupid Humdinger villain who is nothing but a racist Donald Trump stereotype on Nickelodeon threatens to nuke the island and claim all the dinos to himself. It's up to the PAW Patrol dogs and a Hollywood Oscars-ified version of their faithful dino pup member Rex to save the island before all the dinos go extinct again!

Nobody knows what exactly this new movie is going to be filled with. But SPOILER ALERT!: The film is most notable going to have a scene of Rex getting a Phineas & Ferb level backstory-inator and the movie ends with Humdinger getting killed with a dinosaur astorid and locked up in jail again.

The new film returns McKenna Grace to the role of Skye from the previous Mighty Movie sequel released three years ago which has recently been ripped off as a Broadway musical as the fourth installment of Nickelodeon and VStar Entertainment's PAW Patrol Live! broadway musical series which will soon see the dawn of its 10th anniversary celebration on Halloween weekewnd.

To celebrate the new movie, Outright Games will also release the videogame simulator PAW Patrol 3: Dino World due for release next month. It's currently unknown why Outright decided to skip the second movie and not make a videogame counterpart for it during the show's 10th anniversary celebration.

PAW Patrol recently started releasing their entire back catalog of music including the songs from the main show, the spinoff series Rubble & Crew and the YouTube miniseries Skye's Music Party on CD, vinyl and digital download across music streaming platforms like iTunes, Pandora and Spotify.
