Wonder Pets! chronicles the adventures of three funny, singing classroom pets: Linny the Guinea Pig (Sofie Zamchick), Ming-Ming Duckling (Danica Lee) and Turtle Tuck (Teala Dunn), who travel the world to rescue baby animals in need, using teamwork, compassion, and cleaver problem-solving to save animals in distress. Like real preschoolers, the Wonder Pets have no actual superpowers, but they work together as a team to overcome adversity and achieve great success, teaching young viewers the value of cooperation, empathy, and persistence along the way. Each episode features operatic-style singing and a gentle, encouraging tone designed especially for preschoolers.

The show was TV’s first mini-operetta for preschoolers and the first preschool series to feature an extensive lineup of Tony award-winning and nominated Broadway composers.

Celebrated for its music and heartwarming stories, the series was created by preschool animation hitmaker Josh Selig, and originally aired on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. from 2006-2016. 

Wonder Pets! was produced by Selig’s Little Airplane Productions (S1-3), Snowflake Films NYC (S4), Kavaleer Productions (S4) and Nickelodeon Animation Studio/Nick Jr. Productions. Over its run, the show won four Daytime Emmy Awards (Music Direction & Composition [x2], Original Song – Children’s & Animation and Outstanding Performer [Eartha Kitt]), as well as a Creative Arts Emmy for Music Direction & Composition, alongside nominations for Outstanding Preschool Series, Preschool Animated Program, and Writing in a Children’s Series/Preschool Animated Program.

The full library of Wonder Pets! joins the first season of Wonder Pets: In the City, the original series featuring a new trio of heroes: Izzy the Guinea Pig, Tate the Snake and Zuri the Bunny. These heroic pets live in a kindergarten classroom in New York City, and travel all around the globe in their amazing “Jetcar” to rescue animals in musical, mini-opera-themed adventures. When the going gets tough, Izzy, Tate and Zuri always remember to combine their talents and abilities and work together to save the day — because together, there’s nothing they can’t do!

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, Wonder Pets: In the City is developed by Emmy Award winner Jennifer Oxley, who serves as executive producer alongside Steve Altiere and Grammy and Emmy Award winner and co-executive produce Jeffrey Lesser.

This music-forward series also features Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, Pulitzer Prize-winning composers, including Bobby Lopez, Jason Robert Brown, Tom Kitt, Matthew Sklar, Larry Hochman, and is accompanied by the FILMharmonic Orchestra.
