Slumberkins On Apple TV+

You know how we just love puppets, and especially work done by the Jim Henson Company so Slumberkins, which is coming to Apple TV+ on November 4th. The series that is based on the Slumberkins book will feature Bigfoot, Unicorn, Sloth, Yak and Fox as they explore feelings, friendship and relationships. We are loving the characters and hope we get some plush toys based on them in the future. Slumberkins will also feature 2D animation mixed in with the puppets and should be a hit with the kids.
