NOGGIN's Pinky Dinky Doo Returns For Second Season
NOGGIN, the 24-hour, commercial-free, educational network for preschoolers, will premiere the second season of PINKY DINKY DOO, the interactive and imaginative series from Sesame Workshop and Cartoon Pizza, with two back-to-back new episodes on Sunday, September 7, from 7-8 p.m. (ET).
The season two launch airs during an all-day marathon of literacy-themed episodes from DORA THE EXPLORER, LITTLE BILL, WOW! WOW! WUBBZY! and MAX & RUBY, among others, as part of September's "Get Ready To Read" month on the network. The PINKY DINKY DOO prime-time premieres will be followed by an entire week of new episodes from Monday, September 8 to Friday, September 12 at 3 p.m. (ET), with an encore episode at 3:30 p.m. (ET). PINKY DINKY DOO is NOGGIN's original animated series based on the popular books by Jim Jinkins (DOUG and PB&J OTTER) and dedicated to enhancing early literacy.
Sesame Workshop and Cartoon Pizza have partnered with Abrams/Gentile Ent. and the award-winning creative team and Canadian-based animation company Keyframe to shift Pinky Dinky Doo's flash-animation style to an even more visually dynamic technique. For example, the sets now have three-dimensional depth, enabling a greater variety of shots and the characters to travel about the environment more freely. These settings and props are built, textured, animated and rendered from any angle of Pinky's imagination.
Beginning Monday, September 8, season two episodes of PINKY DINKY DOO will be available on NOGGIN Video On Demand via Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Charter, Cablevision, Verizon FiOS and Cox. Additionally, NOGGIN.com will feature new printable activities for parents and preschoolers to do together, plus episode clips and a Pinky-themed doodle pad. Kids may get the opportunity to see their Pinky artwork on-air as a "doodle of the day."
Season two's premiere episodes of PINKY DINKY DOO will feature the following stories:
Sunday, Sept. 7, 7:00 p.m. ET
--"Vicki Chicken" -- Pinky's brother Tyler wants to make a book of all his finger paintings but he makes a big mess with the paint and feels flustered. This gives Pinky an idea for a story about Vicki Chicken, a big chicken who is trying to get to her Aunt Clucky's muffin party but has crashed her plane into a tree. Pinky decides Vicki should solve her problem in steps and eventually they make it to the muffin party. Tyler learns that fixing a problem in steps makes it easier to solve and taking a deep breath helps when he's feeling flustered.
--"The Mystery Planet" -- Tyler assumes his school assembly is going to be totally boring so Pinky tells a story about the futuristic Captain Doo and her starship crew. One day in Great Big Future City, Captain Doo and crew are sent on a mission to an uncharted planet. Because the planet looks like a frowny face, the crew assumes that the planet will be sad, mopey and flooded with tears. Captain Doo thinks they should boldly explore it before they assume it's sad. They meet puppy natives who inform them they're on Planet Puppy, the cutest planet in the galaxy. The crew is glad they found out the truth about the mystery planet and Tyler learns he shouldn't assume things without knowing all the facts.
Sunday, Sept. 7, 7:30 p.m. ET
--"Tooting Trunk" -- Tyler gets in trouble for playing with his soccer ball indoors. This gives Pinky an idea for a story. One day at the library, a noisy blue elephant named Toots is so disruptive that Pinky and Daddy Dinky Doo can't read. Toots explains that he's noisy because he can't remember his favorite song, so Pinky takes Toots to Great Big Symphony Hall in hopes that by listening to music he'll remember. However, when Toots hears his song he sings along, which is disruptive to the orchestra. Pinky realizes that the whole problem would be solved if Toots was a part of the orchestra. Toots performs and everyone loves it.
