WILD KRATTS: A Creature Christmas
Kratt Brothers Company/9 Story
Favorite PBS KIDS Specials Return and New Episodes of SUPER WHY! and DINOSAUR TRAIN Premiere
Arlington, VA, October 22, 2015 - On Wednesday, November 25, PBS KIDS kicks off a full slate of holiday programming with the premiere of WILD KRATTS: A CREATURE CHRISTMAS. In this hour-long movie event, the Kratt Brothers race to return disappearing baby animals to their families in time for Christmas. In the tradition of PBS KIDS favorites CURIOUS GEORGE: A VERY MONKEY CHRISTMAS and THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT CHRISTMAS!, WILD KRATTS: A CREATURE CHRISTMAS is sure to be an instant classic and a holiday event for the whole family. In addition to its premiere on the day before Thanksgiving, A CREATURE CHRISTMAS will re-air throughout November and December. Clips from the special will be available starting November 25 on pbskids.org and the PBS KIDS Video App, and exclusive clips will be available in Kart Kingdom, PBS KIDS' new online world.
The Kratt Brothers' adventures in nature encourage children to learn about and explore the world around them, said Lesli Rotenberg, General Manager, Children's Media, PBS. We know that families love WILD KRATTS, so we are excited to debut a new movie that families can enjoy together during this special time of year.
Produced by the Kratt Brothers Company and 9 Story Media Group, WILD KRATTS transforms Martin and Chris Kratt, creators of the award-winning KRATTS' CREATURES and Emmy-winning ZOBOOMAFOO, into animated versions of themselves, allowing the real-life zoologists to visit wild animals in their little-seen habitats and showcase key science concepts along the way. The series airs daily on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings).
In WILD KRATTS: A CREATURE CHRISTMAS, we showcase a variety of creature powers, helping our viewers discover that animals can help them explore many different science concepts, said Chris Kratt, co-star, co-creator and co-executive producer of WILD KRATTS. Kids will also learn about conservation of wildlife from the special, as the Wild Kratts team races against the clock to rescue baby animals and return them safely home, added Martin Kratt, co-star, co-creator and co-executive producer of the series.
PBS KIDS will also feature additional holiday programming in December. New holiday-themed episodes of DINOSAUR TRAIN and SUPER WHY! premiere on December 7 and repeat throughout the month. Beloved PBS KIDS holiday specials will also return in December, including CURIOUS GEORGE: A VERY MONKEY CHRISTMAS, ARTHUR'S PERFECT CHRISTMAS, PEG CAT HOLIDAYS and THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT CHRISTMAS!. Favorite seasonal episodes from DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD, ODD SQUAD and other series will encore as well.
ODD SQUAD and PEG CAT are funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the U.S. Department of Education through the Ready To Learn Initiative, which supports the development of innovative educational television and digital media targeted at preschool and early elementary school children and their families. CPB also provides funding for SUPER WHY! and DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
