Production

In January 2020, it was announced that a spinoff of Mister Roger's Neighborhood featuring Donkey Hodie was being developed, with the character being redesigned as a more modern felt-faced puppet. The titular character is the granddaughter of the original Donkey Hodie, a character from the Neighborhood of Make Believe on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.[3] On January 28, 2021, the website for the show was released, along with the logo and theme song.[6][7][8]

Music

Like the previous Mr. Rogers spinoff Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, the series will include both new songs and newer versions of hits from the Fred Rogers archive.

The music for the show was composed by Bill Sherman, Zack Zeyde, and Noah Deblasis.
