New Animated Series Inspired by Super Bowl Champion from Houston Hits Disney+
A new animated series has hit the Disney+ platform, and it's a dream come true for many young viewers. "Hey A.J!", the brainchild of retired NFL player Martellus Bennett, is based on his children's book series of the same name.
The show follows the adventures of an imaginative girl named A.J., who has a stuffed bunny sidekick named Theo. With the help of her big imagination, she turns ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. The series premiered on Disney Jr. in January and became available to stream on Disney+ shortly after.
What sets "Hey A.J!" apart is its unique blend of music and family values. Bennett says he wrote the books as a way to introduce more diverse characters to children's literature and spark young imaginations. He also hopes to inspire kids and parents to use their imaginations together, rather than alone.
The show boasts an all-star voice cast, including Amari McCoy as A.J. and Bennett himself as her dad, Marty. Bennett admits that he runs some of his ideas past his real-life daughter, Austyn Jett, who plays herself in the series. She's also been praised for being a creative and imaginative kid, just like the character she portrays.
Bennett's goal is to make "Hey A.J!" more than just an animated show - it's a way of life. He believes that by embracing our imaginations and participating together as families, we can create something truly special. With its unique blend of music, imagination, and family values, "Hey A.J!" has the potential to inspire young viewers and their parents alike.
As for Austyn Jett, she's thrilled to see her dad bringing his creativity to life on screen. She says that while she looks a bit different in the show, she also captures the essence of her personality - and a lot more fun. With its talented voice cast, catchy music, and inspiring message, "Hey A.J!" is sure to delight young audiences and leave them wanting more.

. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show about a kid with a big imagination? The music in it is catchy too! I've seen some of the episodes and they're super fun to watch with the whole family 
. Martellus Bennett did a great job creating this series, he's actually really passionate about promoting diversity in kids' books and inspiring creativity in young minds 
. And let me tell you, Austyn Jett is adorable as herself in the show 
. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something new to watch with your little ones! 
- can't wait to see Austyn Jett rocking her character

I love that Disney+ has a new animated series based on Martellus Bennett's kids book series! It sounds like it's going to be super fun for kids and parents alike 
my fave part is when A.J. uses her imagination to turn boring moments into adventures lol i'm totally doing that with my daughter too! 
martellus bennett's son austyn jett is so cute in the show and it's hilarious how he's a mini version of himself 
i love that the show is all about using our imaginations together as families, it's like they're speaking straight to our hearts 
my only wish is that they make more episodes ASAP 
Disney+ just dropped this new animated series called "Hey A.J!" based on a retired NFL player's kids book series 
. The real problem is that it's got all the hallmarks of another corporate attempt to cash in on family-friendly content by peddling its shallow brand values 
. And don't even get me started on the music - I mean who thought a musical cartoon about imagination was a good idea? 
. The music in the show sounds super catchy too 
! Can't wait for more episodes and maybe even a special Christmas episode?! 
... I mean, a retired NFL player writes an animated series about his kid's book series? what's next, a show based on a retired tennis pro's grandkids' coloring books? 
and now it's on Disney+, of all places. I'm sure Austyn Jett is just thrilled to be herself in a cartoon, not like she's still got parents who are basically her own characters or something 
... anyway, I guess if you're into that sorta thing, the show might have some catchy music and stuff, but let's be real, it's not like it's gonna change the world or anything
