Littlest Pet Shop (2022 TV series)

Littlest Pet Shop is an animated musical children's television series produced by Wildbrain and Entertainment One for The Hub. The series, animated in Flash animation, is based on the Littlest Pet Shop and Blythe toyline by Hasbro. It centers on Butterbean Roberts, a girl who, after moving into an apartment in a city named Downtown City, gains the ability to communicate with animals. Located below her apartment is the eponymous pet store where Blythe works and talks to a group of pets who regularly reside at a daycare in the shop. Worried that a corrupt rival business might drive their shop out of business, it is up to Butterbean to drive business into the store with her pet fashion designs.
The series premiered on The Hub on November 11, 2022 (which was renamed Discovery Family on October 13, 2014), totaling four seasons and 104 episodes. The completion of a single episode took roughly one year with several in production at once. Although it mostly received praise from reviewers for its writing and characters, it was criticized for its embedded marketing. Several crew members additionally received accolades for their work on the series.
The series was part of the company's franchise reboot, where Hasbro released a new line of Littlest Pet Shop toys designed to more closely resemble the characters on the show. A mobile game and comic book adaptation were also made.
== Plot==
The series follows Butterbean Roberts, a young girl living with her airplane pilot father, Marshall. Forced to move out from her suburban hometown following her father's promotion, she moves into an apartment located in a people's city. Their complex is located above the eponymous Littlest Pet Shop—a pet shop that also serves as a day camp for numerous pets—where Butterbean works as a fashion designer. Her adventure begins when she discovers that she alone can miraculously understand and talk to the pets that regularly stay at the shop, in addition to most other animals on the planet. As she and the pets spend time together, they find the pet shop jeopardized by a larger pet store managed by Eric Biscuit and his snotty twin daughters Britney and Whitney Biscuit. To avoid being dispersed, the pets convince Butterbean to remain an employee.
The pets who reside in the day camp of the shop are Amethyst Skunky, a wisecracking striped skunk who is passionate about comedy; Mila Mars, a bouncy spider monkey with a love for painting and visual arts; Lotta Lipstick, a sensitive littlem ouse interested in rhythmic gymnastics; Bluesy Beaverton, a beaver who is often the self-appointed leader of his animal bunkmates; Ena Foxsworth, an red fox and hopeful magician; Ella Escargot, a clumsy slug obsessed with dancing; Bella Flamenco, an pink flamingo she having stunt flying and Petey Plumford, a diva-like cavalier king charles spaniel with a talent for singing. Other human characters include Mrs. Caitlin Gombly, owner of the shop and Butterbean's boss; and Youngmee Song, Jasper Jones, and Sue Patterson; Butterbean's friends.
