A special half-hour crossover episode of Donkey Hodie<\/em> featuring Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em> is slated to premiere on August 11 on PBS KIDS.<\/p>\n

Produced by Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures, the episode reimagines Daniel Tiger and Dad Tiger as puppets. They are voiced by the same actors from Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em>, but Dad Tiger is puppeteered by Frankie Cordero and Daniel Tiger is puppeteered by Ryan Dillon, who is also behind Sesame Street<\/em>\u2019s Elmo.<\/p>\n

In \u201cDaniel Tiger Visits Someplace Else,\u201d Grampy\u2014who is the original Donkey Hodie from Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood<\/em>\u2014invites his old friend, Dad Tiger, to come and help him fix his beloved clock. Dad Tiger brings along Daniel, who quickly becomes friends with Donkey Hodie.<\/p>\n

The special features a new version of the Fred Rogers classic \u201cLook and Listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Donkey Hodie<\/em> special also features other elements from the Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood<\/em> universe. Grampy Hodie\u2019s clock borrows features from the original Daniel Striped Tiger\u2019s clock in Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood<\/em> and from the Clock Factory in Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em>. The trolley rides through a tunnel to get to Someplace Else, just as it does in the original series and Daniel Tiger spin-off. Also, Dad Tiger\u2019s toolbox looks the same in both Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em> and the new special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
