Bunnies Arrive At Playhouse Disney

New on Playhouse Disney is "Bunnytown," a music-filled, humour-filled puppet variety show that invites preschoolers to experience life through the eyes of a group of endearing giggly bunnies, to be shown on Saturdays at 9am.

Set in a bustling world where laughter rules and carrots are a close second, the bunnies of "Bunnytown" create a fun-filled, comedic learning environment. Bunnytown has its very own superhero, inventor, caveman, mischief-maker, rock star and school-age bunnies, to name a few. The bunnies play, sing, dance, hike, go on picnics, and even blast into space. Some of the more curious bunnies burrow their way out of Bunnytown through colourful tunnels and emerge in the neighbouring Peopletown to observe the comical antics of their human counterparts, including a live-action Laurel and Hardy-style silent comedy team, among others.

Each half-hour episode features a wide range of original music representing a rich array of musical styles including hip-hop, disco, country, cool jazz, girl-group pop, piano and guitar rag, and light opera. The Bunnytown Band, which was inspired by the looks and sounds of Earth Wind and Fire and Sly and the Family Stone, are a mainstay of every episode, performing their greatest hits such as "The Bunnytown Hop" and "Making Music."

The series' educational curriculum is designed to support children as their understanding of, appreciation for, and participation in humour develops during the preschool years. "Bunnytown" draws its greatest influence from visual humour and visual support for verbal content. The series also takes early academic skills such as counting, shapes and vocabulary and places them in humorous context so that kids can learn while they laugh.

Playhouse Disney encourages preschoolers to imagine and learn through original series, short-form and acquired programming that includes song, movement and entertainment. Guided by an established curriculum, Playhouse Disney supports multiple areas of child development: physical, emotional, social and cognitive; thinking and creative skills as well as moral and ethical development through carefully constructed themes, storylines and endearing characters.
