New adventures will await our heroes in the Fairytale Forest to inspire the imaginations of all little heroes.
An announcement was made by Nancy Kanter, exexcutive Vice President, Original Programming and General Manager of Disney Junior Worldwide.
“Disney Junior embraces strong storytelling and memorable characters,
and nothing reflects that more than classic fairytales. We are excited to continue the
story of ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’ from a new perspective and hope to inspire
kids to create their own ‘happily-ever-afters’ by giving them new stories featuring
classic characters they already know and love.”
Maria Tater, John L. Loeb Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and Disney Junior Advisory Board Member, will serve as teh series consultant, advising on fairytales, storytelling, and folklore. Story telling will be an important and central theme to the show’s curriculum, with episodes referencing original fairytales, and nursery rhymes, while giving new insights to their underlying messages. Goldie and Bear will model friendship, and community, demonstrate problem solving with a creative touch, and showcase critical thinking skills, like logic and strategy.

Disney Junior has long reflected the emotional connections we have to Disney Storytelling and Disney characters, modern, and classic.
