Tiny Pop to debut Elmo’s World in January 2020

Published on: 25th September 2019

The kids’ TV channel is expanding its Sesame Street content offering with the new pre-school series. 

Tiny Pop is welcoming Elmo to its channel in January 2020. Parents and toddlers can tune into the brand new re-imagined Elmo’s World, where each five-minute interactive episode involves fun and familiar pre-school topics, live action films and co-operative thinking games such as matching, sorting and counting.

Young viewers will join Elmo as he uses his imagination to transform his bedroom into the chalk-drawn environment of Elmo’s World. There, they will embark on new learning adventures with Elmo and his friend Smartie, an animated mobile phone, as they dive into the topic of the day. Before Elmo says goodbye each day, he invites viewers to get up and dance.

Actor, clown, and comedian Bill Irwin returns as Mr. Noodle, and he has brought some new family members to join the fun. New characters include Mr. Noodle’s two brothers, played by Daveed Diggs and comedian Daniel Koren and their dogs Schmoodle, Floodle and Frank.

Elmo will be joining Tiny Pop favourites such as fellow Sesame Street resident Cookie Monster in Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck. Elmo’s World is produced by Sesame Workshop, the educational organisation behind Sesame Street. Season One debuts on Tiny Pop from January 2020.
