Video Interview: Pupstruction’s Travis Braun

An Emmy Award-nominated writer and producer, Travis Braun is behind the new series Pupstruction, set to debut on Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney+ on June 14. The show follows the adventures of the world’s first all-dog construction company, led by an innovative young corgi named Phinny, who might be the smallest pup on the crew but proves that you don’t need big paws to have big dreams or big ideas.

Braun, creator and executive producer, says the concept was inspired by his own childhood, which included growing up in an auto-racing family. “It’s about doing these jobs, building things and fixing things, but it always comes down to that core family unit,” he says.

The series highlights themes of teamwork, family, community, creative problem-solving and the importance of imaginative play. “A big part of what we try to convey in the show is that it’s not about how big you are; it’s about how big you dream,” says Braun. Pupstruction has already been picked up for a second season.
