Hop Coming to Max On April 4th

Hop is coming to Max on April 4th as creator Marc Brown (Arthur) brings a new world to young viewers, as he brings animation to his children’s book characters. Hop is an empathetic frog that has one leg that is shorter than the other leg and, him and his group of friends, find themselves involved in all sorts of challenges and adventures that kids will find relatable, with a dash of comedy. The show is set in the community of Fair Village but can find itself in the realm of fantasy as well as these kids journey on their adventures.

We also were able to look at some of the episode information, and one that sounds fun is Penny’s Pirate Gold.

When Earl sings a sea shanty about a sunken treasure ship at the bottom of Lake Lucky, Penny becomes convinced that it’s true. Penny wants to put together an underwater exploration but the Hoppers, led by Filipa, are dubious about the authenticity of the tale. Through research, Penny convinces the Hoppers that it there’s a good chance it is true, but they need Lonny Beaver’s mini submarine to see for themselves. Penny and Filipa wind up on a thrilling underwater adventure and discover that there is treasure down there – but it’s not at all what they imagined.

Make sure to tune into the new series Hop and adventure with Hop and his friends!

Creator of “Arthur” and Epic Story Media to Debut New Animated Original Embracing Kindness, Acceptance, and Working Together

The wait is finally over! Acclaimed creator Marc Brown is thrilled to announce the premiere date of his latest animated children’s show, “Hop.” The eagerly anticipated series is set to debut April 4 on Max in the U.S., bringing a kind, heartwarming and enchanting world to young viewers. Co-creators and fellow “Arthur” alums, Peter K. Hirsch and Tolon Brown join Marc in bringing his beloved children’s book illustrations to life on “Hop,” produced by Epic Story Media and animated by Loomi Animation.

Created by the mind behind the beloved “Arthur” series, “Hop” follows an eclectic group of besties whose comedic adventures teach preschoolers to embrace their own, and others’, uniqueness. Led by Hop, an enthusiastic, empathetic frog with one leg shorter than the other, he and his quirky friends address kid-relatable challenges with a healthy dose of laughter, silliness, and adventure. Set in the aspirational community of Fair Village, every episode is grounded in emotional reality but soars into the world of fantasy, populated by dragons, trolls, and talking banjos. With a gentle balance of humor and heart, our heroes promise to captivate audiences with delightful journeys filled with friendship, valuable life lessons and endless possibilities.

“I am beyond excited to finally share ‘Hop’ April 4th on Max,” said Marc Brown. “I believe we’ve created a safe, inviting show that will challenge our viewers to understand and appreciate people who are not like them, and to encourage children to act with tolerance and kindness. This show is a labor of love, and I hope it brings joy and inspiration to children and families everywhere.”

“Working with Marc, Peter and Tolon has been an absolute pleasure. Their commitment to inclusive story-telling and their skill at leading our entire creative team has been inspiring for everyone. I am especially proud of the authentic casting and the diverse writers and creative team we brought together for this series,” said Ken Faier, founder of Epic Story Media. “Our goal has always been to make epic content for kids with the world’s best creators. It’s a wonderful achievement and we are thrilled to be working with the team at Max and Warner Bros. Discovery. More announcements from around the world to come!”

The premiere of “Hop” marks a significant milestone in inclusive children’s entertainment, with the entire ensemble cast coping with some type of disability, helping kids relate to, and better understand, others—challenges that are often also reflected in the show. RespectAbility, the esteemed advocacy nonprofit organization fighting stigma and advancing opportunity for people with disabilities, was brought on to consult on the series. With its enchanting animation, lovable characters, and meaningful storytelling, “Hop” is set to become a new favorite for audiences both big and small.

Don’t miss the debut of “Hop” Thursday, April 4 on Max, when six half-hour episodes will premiere with laughter, friendship, and endless fun! A total of twenty-six episodes are set to roll out this year on Max.
