THE CUTEST DUCK AROUND IS COMING TO TOWN!
P. KING DUCKLING: SEIZE THE DAY
COMES TO DVD FROM SHOUT! KIDS
ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2017
 

Los Angeles, CA – Adventure takes flight with the plucky P. King Duckling! He and his pals are coming to DVD in P. King Duckling: Seize The Day!, in the U.S. and Canada, on September 12, 2017, from Shout! Kids, in collaboration with UYoung. P. King Duckling: Seize The Day! contains 7 episodes from Season One, along with an activity book, and is available for pre-order now on Amazon.com and ShoutFactory.com.

Created by the award-winning Josh Selig (Sesame Street, Wonder Pets!) in collaboration with James Chen Gu, General Manager of UYoung Animation, P. King Duckling is a wholly satisfying family experience that engages children in problem-solving and creative thinking – all while quacking you up!

Broadcast in the U.S. on Disney Junior, where the series enjoys high ratings, the new preschool comedy series has a learning-focused curriculum created by media specialist, Dr. Christine Ricci (Dora the Explorer), that centers on overcoming challenges and inspiring creative thinking.

P. King is a slightly hapless but intrepid young duck, and his two best friends, Chumpkins (a sarcastic pig) and Wombat (who helps P. King with his schemes even though she knows better)! Together, they work to “seize the day” – which always leads to wild adventures and hilarious consequences!

P. King is a duck with a dream. Actually, he’s got a lot of dreams and his dreams change every day. One day he might see himself as an astronaut, a magician or a super hero! P. King encourages children to keep dreaming, imagining, and doing. From home-made race cars, to building robots, to re-designing the Eiffel Tower: P. King Duckling is all about arts, crafts, creativity and construction.
