Posted on September 26, 2011

Sprout, a preschool channel, has announced Pajanimals, a new series co-produced by Sprout, The Jim Henson Company, and Northern Ireland's Sixteen South Television. Pajanimals will premiere Monday, October 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET. The Pajanimals characters discover how cozy and safe nighttime can really be when accompanied by friendship and songs.

The characters include Sweetpea Sue the pony, the excitable duck Squacky, the creative cow CowBella and the optimistic puppy Apollo. The characters were built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop from original concepts by Los Angeles-based toy and clothing designer, artist Jeff Muncy.

Here's a video containing the first five episodes.
