Eureka! is the newest music-filled animated STEAM series for preschoolers on Disney Junior and Disney+.
Using her creative, out-of-the-box thinking and tinkering (or "thinkering," as she calls it), Eureka, voiced by Ruth Righi (Disney Channel's "Sydney to the Max") devises contraptions aimed at making the world a better place and moving her community of Rocky Falls into a more modern era. She even invented the wheel – literally!
With the help of her supportive parents, voiced by Renée Elise Goldsberry ("Hamilton") and Lil Rel Howery ("Free Guy"); teacher, voiced by Javier Muñoz ("Hamilton"); along with her best friends and beloved pet mammoth, Eureka is learning to embrace that she is not ordinary…she's extraordinary – and young viewers will realize they can use their own imaginations to make big things happen, too!
"Eureka!" is produced by Brown Bag Films, the Academy Award®-nominated animation studio behind "Doc McStuffins," the groundbreaking animated series that helped pave the way for diverse on-screen female role models in preschool entertainment. Like "Doc McStuffins" and other Disney Junior series with diverse female role models, including "Mira, Royal Detective" and "Elena of Avalor," "Eureka!" features a vibrant, inclusive environment; rich, diverse cast of characters; and a resilient lead who, despite living in the past, is an amazing role model for today's girls. The new series aims to foster creativity, innovation, curiosity, and acceptance among young audiences.
