Pickle & Peanut appeals to Disney XD

Disney XD has given the greenlight to Pickle & Peanut, an animated comedy for its US and worldwide feeds.

Disney Television Animation has begun production on the 2D/live-action hybrid show, which is a buddy comedy about an emotional pickle and a easy-going peanut. Jon Helder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Johnny Pemberton (21 Jump Street) provide the voices.

It is scheduled for fall 2015 TX on Disney-branded channels and platforms worldwide.

Noah Z. Jones (Fish Hooks) created the series, which Joel Trussell (Yo Gabba Gabba!) developed. Both executive produces, and Mark Rivers (Jimmy Kimmel Live!) is story editor.

Disney Television Animation has also received a third season order for its Mickey Mouse shorts and a second for Craig McCracken’s comedy series Wander Over Yonder.
