Disney Junior Preps for Goldilocks Series

Production has begun on Disney Junior's upcoming new fairytale-inspired animated series for preschoolers, "Goldie & Bear."

Slated to debut this fall, the series follows the adventures of new friends Goldie and Bear, who have made peace following the "porridge incident" of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. Set in the Fairytale Forest, Goldie and Bear encounter well-known characters from fairytales and nursery rhymes including Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty and The Three Little Pigs.

"Disney Junior embraces strong storytelling and memorable characters, and nothing reflects that more than classic fairytales," says Nancy Kanter, executive vice president, original programming, and general manager, Disney Junior Worldwide. "We are excited to continue the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears from a new perspective and hope to inspire kids to create their own happily-ever-afters by giving them new stories featuring classic characters they already know and love."
