If you like Unbreakable Kimmy SchmidtAnd you really should have done that Elephant and pig show! It may be yours. Or rather, for your children.
Paramount+ announced Thursday that the voices of literary friends Elephant and Piggie will be performed by the former Kimmy Schmidt Co-stars (and on-screen best friends) Tituss Burgess and Ellie Kemper. In addition, Neil Patrick Harris will play the bus driver Dove show! Pigeon Championship. It’s a very strong selection for preschool shows – but again, the Elephant & Piggie and Pageon books are very strong for preschool books.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well, maybe you don’t have young children — or maybe you’re more of a Dr. Seuss family. Both new Paramount+ series are based on the Mo Willems novel New York Times Best-selling children’s books; pigeon Dove He has his own books and pops in Elephant and pig Those as well.
Elephant and pig show! Paramount described it as a warm, pre-K comedy series about the funny and sometimes difficult work of “best friends.” Basically, Gerald the Elephant is cautious and Piggy is not; Gerald is worried so Piggie won’t have to. As you might imagine, no surprises ensue.
Dove show! Pigeon Championship It is about the daily struggles of a pigeon who just wants to be heard. He’ll be your best friend if you have a bus and let him drive it, but as the main book we’re referring to here warns, Don’t let the pigeons drive the bus! He probably doesn’t even have a Class B (or C) CDL license.
Williams, a three-time Caldecott Award winner (l Don’t let the pigeons drive the bus!, Cannabis rabbit: Cautionary taleand Also Knuffle Bunny: A case of mistaken identity), edits his books through the Hidden Pigeon Company. (The dove often hides in the pages Elephant and pig. It’s like Where’s Waldo? Without all the false alarm lines.)
