Duffy the Disney Bear is Coming to Disney+!

We’ve been hearing a lot about NEW TV and movies at D23 Expo!

We’ve seen a brand-new trailer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, we know the release date for National Treasure: Edge of History, and we saw a new trailer for The Mandalorian Season 3! Now we have news about a new animated series from Disney.

Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, announced that a new series — Duffy and Friends — will be coming to Disney+. There will be six episodes of this stop-motion series and it will premiere on Disney’s streaming service sometime next year!

If you’re not familiar with Duffy, he is Mickey’s very own teddy bear. Minnie made Duffy for Mickey Mouse as a gift to keep him company on his travels. She gave the bear to Mickey inside a duffel bag — thus the name “Duffy.”

Duffy’s group of friends includes his bestie ShellieMay, Gelatoni the cat, StellaLou the rabbit, CookieAnn the dog, ‘Olu Mel the turtle, and his newest friend – LinaBell the fox.

Mickey’s favorite teddy bear, Duffy, is a favorite of fans in all three Disney resorts in Asia. Josh D’Amaro just shared that Duffy & Friends will star in their very own six-episode, stop-motion animated series on Disney+ next year. #D23Expo pic.twitter.com/bfw3KNPQuH
