John Betancourt: I would love to start by getting to know what inspired you to want to bring this iteration of Wonder Pets to life. Jennifer Oxley: Well, you know, when we, when I got the call asking if I wanted to, you know, bring a new version of the Wonder Pet to a new audience.

I was initially shocked, but also, like, because I didn't expect it, but I was also super excited. I loved the challenge of, like, regaining something that stays true to the love and, sort of, like, the nostalgia for the original and honors the spirit, but also takes it to another level, you know, the challenge of like, what could this new take on the Wonder Pets be?

What if there was actually this vast network of, you know, opera singing animals all over the world, and we get a chance to meet, you know, three new pets in a new location with new personalities and, you know, new ways of getting around, new ways of getting there. Also, it'd be like… sort of like same format, but, you know, sort of break it out and get a chance to meet some personalities.

John Betancourt: I was really impressed with the depth of the songs, of just the lessons overall. And I'm very curious, well into the decision for this iteration of the show to have such impactful and powerful lessons.

Why bring this to the screen now, you know, what if we were to add an additional layer of storytelling, you know, speaking to messages, deeper messages, passion, empathy and inclusivity, you know?

What if we were to challenge ourselves to, you know, have a layer like that in every one of our stories for this new spin off. So, I think that that's something that really will set it apart, I think, from the original, and it is definitely an expansion on the world. Even though we did do that, we touched on that on the original, I feel like we've really gone for it on this side, this new spin off.
