MUMBAI: Disney Channel has renewed Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and My Friends Tigger & Pooh for additional 35-episode seasons. It has also begun production in the U.K. on a new preschool program, Jungle Junction.

Set to launch on Playhouse Disney and Disney Channels around the world in 2009, Jungle Junction follows a group of fun-loving animals on wheels as they explore a road-filled jungle. The CG-animated series delivers a positive environmental message and has a set curriculum to foster pre-literacy with regard to signs, symbols and their meanings in the everyday world.

"We are thrilled to begin production with our partners in the U.K. on what will be Disney Channel's second full-scale international production," said Playhouse Disney Worldwide SVP Nancy Kanter.

"The humorous character-based stories are structured around an innovative curriculum that highlights the juxtaposition we all recognize between natural and urban habitats. We are hopeful that Jungle Junction will introduce preschoolers early on to the importance of fostering an appreciation of and responsibility for the environment," added Kanter.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse combines CG animation with classic Disney characters to introduce a whole new generation of preschoolers to Mickey and his pals. My Friends Tigger & Pooh revolves around the classic characters-Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore and other favorites-solving mysteries in the Hundred Acre Woods, featuring an interactive curriculum for young viewers.

"Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and My Friends Tigger & Pooh have captivated preschoolers and their parents around the globe," added Kanter. "Both have proven to be ratings winners from day one, and we are looking forward to successful third seasons filled with more exciting Clubhouse and Hundred Acre Wood adventures with Mickey, Pooh and all the gang."
