Rob the Robot (2023 Disney Junior revival)

Rob the Robot is a 2023 revival of the original series (which ran from 2010-2017) that premiered alongside the rebrand launch of Disney Junior (same day as the other channel/rebrand launches from Disney). This contunuation of this show was produced by Walt Disney Animation Television (after Disney bought the rights to *Rob the Robot* from Entertainment One).

Premise
The revival of the series is pretty much the same as the original. It follows four young friends of undefined ages; Rob, the metal leader of the group, Ema, the odd one out who likes to dance, T-K, the genius and toolkit of the group, and Orbit, a clumsy yet artistic fellow, as they embark on adventures to various planets to solve problems/engage in their fun activity.

Characters
Main characters* **Rob** (voiced by TBA): The main protagonist of the revival. A young metal robot, he is curious and adventurous, and he will not hesitate to plan a mission, whether it is to solve problems or to just have fun. In Season 2, he adopts and becomes a father figure to an even younger robot from the Robot Planet who he names Rob Jr.
* **Ema** (voiced by TBA): The only person in the group who is not a robot, Ema the alien is a spunk of lively energy who likes to dance.
* **T-K** (voiced by TBA): A red robot who moves around with a built-on wheel, she is one-of-a-kind, possessing the ability to keep objects in her trusty hammerspace tummy trunk, regardless of size. In the revival, her name is now spelled "T-K" with a hyphen. When Rob Jr. debuted in Season 2, she sometimes acts as a surrogate mother to him.
* **Orbit** (voiced by TBA): An orange robot with two bandages taped to the back of his head, a chip on his forehead, crooked antenna and two tank-like threads as feet. Although he might be a talented artist, he is also often clumsy.
* **Rob Jr.** (voiced by TBA): Rob's adopted son who makes his debut in Season 2. He is basically a smaller clone of his father with a propeller beanie cap where his antenna should be. He is similar in personality to Wade from the comic strip *U.S. Acres*, being afraid of almost everything; because of this, he is said to be the polar opposite of his curious and adventurous dad, but nonetheless he doesn't hesitate to join a mission Rob plans. He also has a fear of mice, which he expresses towards Squeak. Despite his cowardly nature however, he loves his adoptive father very much and gets along pretty fine with him, Ema, T-K and Orbit. He is the youngest, shortest, and most innocent member in the gang.
* **Mission Control** (voiced by TBA): The person who chooses the correct planets the gang wants to go to. He is merely a huge robotic hand hanging from the rocket's ceiling.
* **Squeak** (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker): The gang's pet wind-up mouse who often accompanies his owners on their missions. Besides his new voice actor, he remains unchanged in the revival.

Episodes

Production
In 2022, Disney bought the rights to *Rob the Robot*, and a few years later after the original series ended, the creators announced at SDCC 2022 that they will be making the series alive again with a reboot. A few days later, trailers of the show were released to SDCC and Youtube. The series fully premiered in the US on January 1, 2023. The series will be a collaboration with Amberwood Entertainment, One Animation, and Disney Television Animation.
The CGI for the reboot was notably different from that of the original. While the original series used chunky, cartoonish-looking animation with very little shading, the reboot's CGI was cleaner and more realistic-looking, with enhanced shading and visible shadows to match. Because the characters' original models were made at One Animation, they had to be remodeled from scratch at Jam Filled Toronto, and still managed to look identical to the originals, with the mouths remaining animated in the same way the mouths in *Bubble Guppies* are.
The writing team consists of original writers Craig Young, Shelia Dinsmore and J.D. Dan Smith, with newcomers being Eric Shaw, Norton Virgien, etc.
