About Muppet Babies
The 1984 Muppet Babies ran for eight seasons of nursery imagination games, and the 2018 Disney Junior reboot retold the premise with new animation and new friend Summer Penguin. The two shows share a setup but no story, so either works as a starting point.
Good to know
The original grew from a nursery dream sequence in The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984). The reboot ended with its series finale on February 18, 2022.
