I said, What if we did this?
And he has an adult Kermit puppet sitting on his shelf.
I really looks fun, but Im scared.
Can you show me how?
And the girl goes down the slide and then Kermit goes down the slide.
Its down and dirty.
And we did it.
This has been a dream come true.
Theres something really tactile about that and I think for viewers it really draws you into the show.
And thats a testament to the stories were telling.
Were trying to tell these stories that arent just for a preschool audience, theyre for everyone.
A lot of preschool TV, for some parents, it serves as a babysitter.
Im going to put you in front of this show while I go put this load of laundry in.
Weve got lots more episodes coming out with lots of new imagination sequences that take us to new places.
I cant tell you that much or the PR people will yell at me.
Disney has a lot of cool promotions and product coming out.
We saw a little dancing and singing Piggy recently that came out, which is real.
I have it on my desk and it just makes me smile every time I see it.
I cant wait to see what they do next.
