Universal Kids Slates New Preschool Series

Universal Kids is set to premiere its new preschool series Powerbirds, which follows parakeet siblings Ace and Polly, who at first glance seem like ordinary pets.

However, the birds possess special super powers. Inspired by their owner Max’s love of comic books, Ace and Polly’s oversized imaginations take them on heroic superhero adventures. The series is set for a January 19 premiere at 10 a.m.

Unbeknownst to Max, whenever he leaves for the day, Ace and Polly spring into action as the Powerbirds. In each episode, they use superhero powers such as the fantastic freeze, super sight, super speed and beyond, to save their neighborhood from animal villains. The series promotes underlying positive messages that we can all be our own superhero if we do the right thing.
