PB&J Otter’s Playhouse

**PB&J Otter’s Playhouse** is a revival series of the nostalgic show, PB&J Otter, premiered in March 15, 2006 on Playhouse Disney and ended on December 6, 2006. It is the third instalment of the PB&J Otter franchise. 14 episodes were aired during its 1st season's run. After a four-year hiatus, the series returned in May 1, 2010 for a 2nd season as the final instalment of the PB&J Otter franchise, with the series finale airing on August 30, 2010. PB&J Otter’s Playhouse had over five years of reruns in Canada before being removed from Playhouse Disney on July 15, 2011.

The show was created by Douglas Love, who created Out of the Box. This is the first series not to be animated using traditional cel animation, and instead to be animated using hand-drawn animation (or digital ink-and-paint) (Season 1 only), and by Season 2, the animation transitions into Adobe Flash (Season 2 only).

The series features seven characters from PB&J Otter - Peanut, Jelly, Baby Butter, Pinch, Scootch, Flick, and Bubbles. The 2nd season is the first series to feature the voices of Jaiden Cannatelli, Annick Obonsawin, Addison Holley, Devan Cohen and Gage Munroe. The show focuses on the characters’ playtime in the playhouse.

The show also features four interstitials of Baby Butter’s backyard buddies, with real footage of backyard animals that come from Image Bank Film and the Energy Film Library. It also features two team-ups with The Bubble Colour Bath Toys.

## Production

In May 2011, while watching the "Save Oaky Oak Tree" episode, Keegan Jeannotte visits a playhouse and asked Douglas Love to create a new reboot for PB&J Otter. In April 2018, he asked Jaiden Cannatelli to voice Peanut Otter for the reboot. Back in January 2006, Jim Jinkins, who created PB&J Otter and Stanley, and Lisa Jinkins, are back for the reboot.

Two months later, they created "PB&J Otter’s Playhouse", a playtime series. They brought back composers Peter Lurye, songwriters Dan Sawyer and Fred Newman, and creator Douglas Love. Naelee Rae and Sean Curley are set to voice Pinch and Scootch Raccoon, respectively. Back in May 2000, their voice actress, Cody Pennes, reprised her roles in the song My Butterfly Kite. The remaining voice actor, Adam Rose, and two actresses, Jenell Slack-Wilson and Gina Marie Tortorici, reprise their roles as Peanut, Jelly and Baby Butter Otter.

In May 2012, Keegan took pictures of backyard life and back in May 14, 2007, he used backyard animal footage from Image Bank Film and the Energy Film Library, as well as backyard animal clips from two Energy Film Library nature documentaries, for the music videos and interstitials.

### PB&J Otter's Playhouse Finally Releases

Keegan Jeannotte first saw PB&J Otter back in 2016, but I can't remember which episode it is. In summer 2019, he saw PB&J again, and Peanut Otter, Jelly Otter, Munchy Beaver and Pinch Raccoon are brought by him, with Scootch Raccoon and Baby Butter Otter joining them at the end of 2021. At age 10, Peanut, Jelly, Baby Butter and their new friends Pinch, Scootch and Munchy are seen together, and he imagined them and played with them for a long time. Keegan Jeannotte believed until he rediscovered PB&J Otter from recordings on Disney Junior Avocado Einstein saved in summer 2021. Keegan Jeannotte announced *PB&J Otter's Playhouse* is released on March 15, 2021 for the show's 15th anniversary, 15 years after its release date.

The series premiered with the original release date, changing from March 15, 2006 to March 15, 2021.
