Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (known as Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Ireland, Hong Kong, Malta, Cyprus and other Commonwealth countries, and often abbreviated to Daniel Tiger and Le Village de Dany in France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other French-speaking countries) is an animated musical television series aimed at preschool children aged 2–5. It was created by Angela C. Santomero (who also created Blue's Clues and Super Why! ) and produced by Fred Rogers Productions, 9 Story Media Group, and 9 Story USA (formerly Out of the Blue Enterprises). The series debuted on September 3, 2012 on PBS Kids, eleven years after Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ended and nine years after Fred Rogers' death. [4]
It is based on the Neighborhood of Make-Believe from Mister Rogers, the family-oriented television series created and hosted by Rogers that aired from 1968 to 2001. In 2019, the series was renewed for a fifth season, which premiered on August 17, 2020 with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Won't You Sing Along with Me? , a musical special that dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] [6] On August 20, 2021, the series was renewed for a sixth season, which premiered on September 5, 2022. [7] A one-hour television movie, Daniel Visits a New Neighborhood, aired on June 20, 2022. [8]
The series centers around Daniel Tiger (son of Mom Tiger and Dad Tiger). It also features other children of the characters from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, such as Katerina Kittycat (daughter of Henrietta Pussycat), Miss Elaina (daughter of Lady Elaine Fairchilde and Music Man Stan), O the Owl (nephew of X the Owl) and Prince Wednesday (King Friday and Queen Sara Saturday's youngest son and Prince Tuesday's little brother). Two 11-minute segments are linked by a common socio-emotional theme, such as disappointment and sadness or anger and thankfulness. The theme also uses a musical motif phrase, which the show calls "strategy songs", to reinforce the theme and help children remember the life lessons. Many of the "strategy songs" are available in albums or as singles under the artist name "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood". [9] The program is targeted at preschool-aged children; it teaches emotional intelligence, kindness, and human respect. Its content follows a curriculum based on Fred Rogers' teaching and new research into child development. [10]
