“Megan and Cupcake Ready for Preschool,” a hybrid live action and animated extension of Disney Jr.’s popular “Ready for Preschool” shorts is set to debut on Disney Jr. and stream on Disney+ later this fall.
“Sesame Street” puppeteer, ventriloquist and children’s book author Megan Baptist stars alongside her new sidekick, Cupcake, partnering up to serve lessons to preschoolers.
According to the logline, the series is set in the WOW Workshop and is equal parts invention lab and playhouse — Megan and Cupcake have no shortage of gadgets, gizmos and imagination to tinker with. Together, they’ll lead kids at home on playful, hands-on adventures designed to help them feel confident, curious and ready to take on preschool.
A collection of 10 one-minute “Megan and Cupcake” live-action shorts introducing viewers to the WOW Workshop will start rolling out on Disney Jr. YouTube today, before their debut on Disney Jr. and Disney+ this Fall.
The full longer-form shorts titled “Megan and Cupcake Ready for Preschool” themed around specific learning and play concepts featuring the live-action interactions with Megan and Cupcake wrapped around some of the existing “Ready for Preschool” shorts will also premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+ this fall.
