==Premise==
The series chronicles a seven-year-old girl named Dottie McStuffins who, one day, wants to become a doctor like her mother. As a kid, she "pretends" to be a doctor by fixing up toys and dolls (because of this, everyone calls her 'Doc'). When she puts on her stethoscope, something magical happens: toys, dolls, and stuffed animals come to life and she can communicate with them. With a little help from her stuffed animal friends: Stuffy, Hallie, Lambie, and Chilly, Doc helps toys "feel better" by giving them check-ups. Each 11-minute episode includes original songs, the "Time for Your Check-Up" song, the "I Feel Better" song, and the "Hey, What's Going On" song. During ending credits in Season 1, Doc gives advice to viewers about staying healthy. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 have the original intro. Doc McStuffins was created and executive produced by Humanitas Prize and Emmy Award-winner Chris Nee.
