MOUSTERPIECE THEATER SERIES

MOUSTERPIECE THEATER SERIES

Three more new series are scheduled to begin this summer.

Milne characters with costumed performers, and 'You and Me, Kid' in which celebrity hosts encourage active participation with parents in learning games. Pre-school kids are offered a pair of daily half-hour entertainment-educational shows, 'Welcome to Pooh Corner,' based on the A.A. 'The Scheme of Things,' a half-hour daily science show 'unlocking mysteries of the world through science.' James MacArthur is host. 'New! Animal World,' a half-hour daily animal show with Bill Burrud at the helm and concluding with a quiz. 'Mousterpiece Theater,' another daily cartoon showcase with George Plimpton providing clever introductions. 'Wish Upon A Star,' making dreams come true for kids participating in person or by mail. 'Mousercise,' the half-hour daily exercise series with Kellyn Plasschaert hosting. 'Good Morning, Mickey,' an hour of daily cartoons, many never-before-seen on TV. 'Epcot America! America!,' a weekly hour series hosted by Lloyd Bridges which roams the country exploring the spirit of change, timely topics and interviews.

'Epcot Magazine,' a half-hour daily show involving celebrity hosts at Walt Disney World's EPCOT center in Florida showing how the future will affect our lives. 'Dreamfinders,' a one-hour weekly series, aimed at kids 6 to 12, involving the 'Realm of imagination to gain the information and insight necessary to tackle problems and discover new vistas.' 'Disney Studio Showcase,' a weekly hour anthology tapping the creative resources of Disney animators and artists, tours of the Disney studio and other Disney activities. 'Contraption,' a half-hour weekly game show for kids 7 to 12 with a life-size, three-dimensional game board helping viewers and participants improve their memory skills and physical coordination. The Disney Channel monthly magazine - an integral part of the project containing games and puzzles for viewer participation in some programs - promises a variety of live, taped and filmed shows, including 13 new series for premiere week: It is a great deal more than old movies and cartoons from studio archives. Perhaps the secret to Disney optimism is the variety and flexibility of the channel's programming.
