Kiara Muhammad and Loretta Devine will star in Disney Junior’s “Doc McStuffins” a new animated series that models good health, hygiene, compassion and nurturing for kids ages two to seven. The series premieres FRIDAY, MARCH 23 on the popular Disney Junior block on Disney Channel (10:00-11:00 a.m., ET/PT) and the new 24-hour Disney Junior channel (4:00-5:00 p.m., ET/PT). Emmy Award-winning Ty Burrell from ABC’s “Modern Family” will guest star in the show’s premiere episode. With warm and fuzzy stories, each featuring an original song, introduces a little girl named Doc who can talk to the stuffed animal and toy world — and they talk to her too, especially when they need her help repairing a stitch or bandaging a “boo-boo”. Along the way, Doc and her friends Stuffy, Lambie, Hallie and Chilly impart helpful tips about self care and care for others, and chase away the worries over visiting the doctor.
Burrell voices Big Jack, a nurturing Jack-in-the-Box, who takes his son Little Jack to get a check-up from Doc in the first story of the premiere episode titled “Out of the Box.” In the second story, Doc helps her little brother Donny’s toy race car recharge in “Rundown Race Car.”
