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.
