Amazon’s latest original series for kids, The Stinky & Dirty Show, debuted in the U.S. and the U.K. on Friday, and is set to roll out in Germany, Austria and Japan later this year. Based on the I Stink! book series by Kate and Jim McMullan, the new preschool series follows the adventures and mishaps faced by best friends and unlikely heroes, Stinky the garbage truck and Dirty, the backhoe loader.
Featuring voice talents Jaden Betts (Doc McStuffins) as Stinky and Jacob Guenther (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as Dirty, The Stinky & Dirty Show is directed by David McCamley (Peter Rabbit) and produced by Gillian Higgins (Doc McStuffins). The series is written and developed by Guy Toubes (The Adventures of Chuck & Friends, Littlest Pet Shop, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi) and animated by Ireland’s Brown Bag Films (Peter Rabbit, Octonauts, Doc McStuffins). Celebrity voice talent includes Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Lynch, Andy Richter, Joan Cusack and Wallace Shawn, and the series also features original music from acclaimed folk singer and songwriter Dan Bern.
