An anticipated new series for kids, Doc McStuffins, will make its debut on Disney Junior on March 23rd. The delightful series features a six-year-old girl, Dottie "Doc" McStuffins, who talks to stuffed animals and cares for them in her playhouse clinic. She can even communicate with the toys of her friends and neighbors to help fix what ails them.
Doc McStuffins has several toy friends on the show: Stuffy, a proud dragon; Lambie, her best friend; Hallie, a hippo nurse; Squeakers, a squeaky fish toy; and Chilly, a snowman who makes frequent visits to the clinic. Healing the toys may involve fixing stitches, replacing batteries or perhaps stopping a leak, while the heart of each story is about basic health issues appropriate for young kids. It hopes to stress the importance of taking care of oneself and others by lending a helping hand.
A couple of interesting things I learned about the show at the Disney Junior pre-launch event last week:
1) Doc McStuffins was originally discussed as a “he.” I love that she’s a smart, compassionate, adorable girl! She reminds me of the little girl, Bonnie, in Toy Story 3.
2) Family and friends play an important role on the show – much like PBS’s Sid the Science Kid. Doc’s mom on the series is a doctor and helps to “diagnose” the animals. Her dad is a chef, whipping up healthy treats for Doc and her younger brother, Donny.
3) Music plays a role in the series, with each episode featuring an original song, like “Be Good to Your Tummy,” “Get Your Sleep On,” and “Wash Your Hands.” They sing “The Check-Up Song,” in each episode which is intended to help ease young kids’ fears of getting a check-up.
We're looking forward to the series on Disney Junior next month :-)
