The “Summer of Adventure” has begun on PBS Kids, with three movies spun off from established TV series set to debut. First to premiere is Alma Goes to Puerto Rico, an hour-long movie spun off from Alma’s Way that debuts June 5. Then it’s Wise Raven & Old Crow, a one-hour Molly of Denali movie that premieres July 10, before Space Camp, a feature-length film from Ready Jet Go!, rolls July 20.
Kids of course have different routines in the summer, and PBS Kids is looking to give young viewers, and their parents, something special to watch. “It’s a time where families are looking for events to do with their kids,” Sara DeWitt, senior VP and general manager, PBS Kids, told B+C. “And kids might have longer stretches to sit and watch.”
