Bring Da Funk, Bunnies!

Posted by AmyinMotown

Fans of Noggin's "Jack's Big Music Show" — and seriously, if you're not, what precisely is wrong with you? – will want to check out the new show "Bunnytown" on the Disney Channel.
Spiffy Pictures, the production team behind "Jack," worked with the UK's Baker Coogan to make "Bunnytown," which intersperses scenes of the puppet bunnies with live action sketches of Peopletown, where the bunnies observe their human counterparts.Airing at 11am Saturdays and Sundays, the show shares the look of Jack's brightly colored and goofily adorable puppet stars and its music focus.

The Bunnytown Band is made up of puppet players with names like Clyde, Wojo and Jools, and is based on –wait for it – bands like Sly and the Family Stone and Earth, Wind and Fire. All types of music, from hip-hop and funk to rock and jazz, will be featured.
Spiffy's Adam Rudman, David Rudman and Todd Hannert have worked on kid-show classics like "Sesame Street" and "Blue's Clues" as well.

Like most shows for the preschool set, there's an educational component, but if the show's as awesome as "Jack's Big Music Show," who really cares? Any show that can bring on the Thinking Woman's TV Boyfriend, Jon Stewart, as well as luminaries like blues idol Buddy Guy is good with me, and I have high hopes for "Bunnytown" as well.
