The series looks awful. The design of the Palace Pets has been simplified which makes them look even worse now and I simply can't stand that cheap Flash animation they're using. Oddly, Aurora's kitten Beauty has been renamed to Dreamy in the show.

I enjoyed the episodes.

At least now they have fewer bows.

The series was developed and written by Shea Fontana and directed by Alan Lau. It was produced by Ghostbot studios. Julia Lundman worked as an art director on the show. You can find artwork of hers for the show on her website as well as on Tumblr, Blogspot, and Behance. There are going to be 23 episodes in total.

I think the shorts are adorable! And now at least kids will have something to grow familiar with the characters with, instead of just buying random toys of characters they don't really know.

count me in as another one who's not impressed by this franchise, though i like seeing what new species they come up with for new pets.

and Merida will proabably never be in this line b/c of feminist parents being against the girly gendered toys.

Something weird is going on. Disney has removed the website for Palace Pets and now it only has a webpage on Disney Junior for Whisker Haven Tales.

They also redesigned the pets to match the style of the show. They look so much worse now. :huh:

I think they look so much better now!

They look cute and they have fewer bows. The ponies are a great improvement, I was kind of afraid of them before! xD


Now they look very cute:

It's not that strange!

The ponies from My Little Pony do the same movements.

They have a new website: (but it's a Whisker Haven Tales website)

I'm in love with the Whisker Haven series. So adorable, and a great way to give the characters some backstory. I'd be happy to see a full series on DisneyJunior honestly.

Thanks for sharing Sotiris!
I rarely (mostly never) see how my designs are used and I can again discover the final products on this topic...Funny!
Brie is different from what I did, but Macaron is close. ^^

I don't know if I've previously said this, but here it goes; I dislike this franchise. Mostly because it has no relevance to the Princesses nor their movies. And the redesigns of the Princesses. I've been neutral to most franchises, but this just irks me.

Because I guess children can brush their fluffy tails...
I did a regular mouse tail for Cinderella's tail on my initial design, with ribbons around, but it was replace by a fluffy tail as I can see on the final product...
