Disney Branded Television is in development with nine-time Emmy Award-winning international animation studio Baobab Studios on The Witchverse, an all-new animated anthology series based on Baobab Studios’ acclaimed, award-winning interactive experience Baba Yaga.
Working closely with Baobab Studios, Disney Television Animation is overseeing the development of the project for Disney+. Baobab Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer Eric Darnell, writer and director of Baba Yaga, Madagascar and Antz, will executive produce the series.
The Witchverse is a global celebration of the international cultural phenomena of witches, their magic and their universal connection to nature. Each “witch-i-sode” will comically explore and upend common misconceptions surrounding global witch mythology and lore from a mélange of cultures and perspectives around the world.
