NEW ANIMATED PRESCHOOL SERIES, KATE & MIM-MIM, SET TO PREMIERE ON DISNEY JUNIOR ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19TH AT 8:00 PM ET/PT

This holiday season, the fantastical imaginations of one family will twirl to life on Disney Junior U.S. with the launch of Kate & Mim-Mim.  Premiering on December 19th at 8:00 PM ET/PT, Kate & Mim-Mim is a new animated series created by the award-winning husband and wife duo, Scott and Julie Stewart, with the help of their own children’s creative fantasies.  Based on their own daughter Kate, Kate & Mim-Mim tells the story of a feisty five-year-old who together with her toy rabbit Mim-Mim travels to the fantasy world of Mimiloo, where Mim-Mim comes alive as a larger-than-life playmate. 

High-spirited and smart, all Kate needs for her great adventures is her vivid imagination and her funny bunny best friend, Mim-Mim. So whenever Kate needs to solve a problem at home, she travels to the magical world of Mimiloo where anything can happen and no problem is too big for a big thinker and her big bunny.  Here, Kate can be and do anything, from being a princess, playing cowgirl or leading a pirate treasure hunt – the only limits are the little girl’s imagination.  With a different challenge every day, Kate and Mim-Mim have extraordinary adventures with their special Mimiloo friends.  By the time Kate and Mim-Mim’s adventure is over, Kate has a clever solution to her puzzle and can’t wait to get home to tell her mom and dad all about it.

Exploring the preschool themes of friendship, teamwork, adventure and problem solving, Kate & Mim-Mim was created by a real-life family, for families, encouraging children to use their imaginations and work together to solve any problem, no matter how big. 

“We’re so excited to bring this world of extraordinary children’s imagination to homes across America this holiday season,” said Kate & Mim-Mim creators, Scott and Julie Stewart.  “Kate & Mim-Mim brings with it a message to preschoolers of inspiration and dreaming big, complete with a big bunny hug in every episode.”

“With great storylines and loveable characters, Disney Junior is the perfect home for Kate & Mim-Mim,” said Bob Higgins, Executive Producer and Executive Vice President Creative and Production, FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment.  “Supported by a phenomenal team of artists and writers, this visually inviting, heartfelt and very funny show is sure to be enjoyed by the entire family.” 

The premiere episode of Kate & Mim-Mim will debut on Disney Junior U.S. at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Friday, December 19th, with a special holiday themed episode, A Christmas Wish, to immediately follow at 8:30 PM ET/PT .  In A Christmas Wish, it’s a stormy Christmas Eve and Kate worries that her dad won’t get home in time to put the star on the Christmas tree. In Mimiloo, Kate tells her friends all about Christmas, and everyone is excited to send a wish to Santa Claus.  But when a blizzard stops their letters in their tracks, it looks like Christmas will be ruined!

Following the airing of A Christmas Wish, the series will continue airing with subsequent episodes Monday–Thursday at 8:00 PM ET/PT, as well as Saturday–Sunday at 4:30 PM ET/PT. 

Kate & Mim-Mim is produced and developed by Nerd Corps Entertainment.  FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment holds the exclusive worldwide TV distribution and licensing rights to the property outside of Canada.

Joss & Main, an online flash-sales site offering inspiring home design daily, today unveiled a curated sale event inspired by Disney’s Into the Woods, which hits theatres on December 25. An adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Into the Woods is Joss & Main’s latest inspiration for a curated collection of furniture and décor for the home. An exclusive pre-sale will debut on December 18. The entire collection will launch on December 25, when all members of the flash-sale site will be able to shop the look of the magical, modern fairytale.

By picking up on deep earthy colors, lush textures, and rustic elements that were prominent in the film, we were able to create a collection that brings the mood and magic of the story into the home in a surprisingly livable way.”

The 31st Annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Special Gets a Frozen Makeover! Tune in for the Star-Studded Spectacular December 25 on ABC-TV

This holiday season, Disney will put a “Frozen” twist on its 31st annual Christmas Day telecast, appropriately renamed the “Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration” airing Dec. 25, 2014 on ABC-TV.

Robin Roberts of ABC’s “Good Morning America” will host the reimagined television special inspired by the blockbuster hit’s message of uniting family and loved ones. Roberts will lead the telecast from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida with support from GMA Contributor and ESPN and SEC Network analyst Tim Tebow.

They will be joined by Rob Marciano, senior meteorologist of ABC’s “Good Morning America” from the “The Happiest Place on Earth” at Disneyland Resort. Sarah Hyland, star of ABC’s Emmy award-winning show “Modern Family,” joins the fun from Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai‛i. The festivities will also feature a special appearance by Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev, making this year’s Christmas special a magical “Frozen” celebration not to be missed.

Disney Parks will celebrate this Christmas with more than a parade, but with a heartfelt wish for the holiday season, the coming together of loved ones and family. In keeping with the spirit of “Frozen” where two sisters are united through the power of true love, Disney will bring together three groups of families and friends who have been apart or separated for the holidays, providing the ultimate Christmas gift. The reunions will take place at three magical Disney destinations – Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, and Aulani – making these reunions bigger, brighter and merrier.

The joyous occasion will fittingly include a special rendition of the “Frozen” hit single, “Let It Go,” as performed by 12-year-old YouTube sensation, Lexi Walker.

There will also be festive performances from some of today’s top musical talents at each of the various Disney locations:

  • Ariana Grande will regale Walt Disney World Resort guests with her new Christmas single “Santa Tell Me” and the Christmas tradition “Last Christmas”
  • Prince Royce adds to the merriment with “I Want to Wish You a Merry Christmas/Feliz Navidad”
  • The spotlight also will shine on special performances from the X Factor USA third and final season winners Alex and Sierra singing “Love is an Open Door” from “Frozen”
  • Yuletide cheer will be brought to the Hawaiian Islands by Gavin DeGraw, performing his latest single “Fire” and the holiday standard “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”
  • Laura Marano, of Disney Channel’s “Austin & Ally,” entertains viewers with her version of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” as posed by Princess Anna in “Frozen”
  • Trey Songz, Lucy Hale and Train will serenade audiences at Disneyland Resort in California with holiday favorites such as “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “Mistletoe,” and “Shake Up Christmas”
  • Country music superstar Trisha Yearwood will perform her hit single, “Prizefighter,” and the holiday classic, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
