Charming, scatterbrained, and a bit of a diva, Hoot is the character with BIG dreams and an even bigger heart. Hoot (voiced by Makeda Bromfield) – Like her name suggests, Hoot is the life of the party. Penny is a source of broad physical comedy and with their quirky sense of humor and talking banjo, Penny is the lovable clown of the group. Silly, goofy and bubbling with enthusiastic energy, Penny often seems like they're spinning out of the control. Penny (voiced by Moneesha "Misha" Bakshi) – Penny is Hop's slightly older sibling. He is the first amputee to have performed on Broadway. Connolly is a recipient of the Premier of Ontario's Award of Excellence in Applied Arts and happens to be a double below-knee amputee. Broadway actor and disability advocate David Connolly voices Hop. A natural-born leader, Hop spearheads the group on their zany adventures and embodies what it means to be an accepting, caring and supportive friend. He lives on a houseboat with Penny and runs a retro-diner called the Lilypad that also functions as the gang's clubhouse. Hop (voiced by David Connolly) – Hop is an outgoing six-year-old frog with one leg shorter than the other, whose superpower is empathy. And kids love to have fun, that's what Hop is all about!" Kids are kids and each one is unique and filled with potential. Some of our characters have disabilities but they never define who they are or what they can achieve. But the characters in Hop reflect many kids who are underrepresented in the media. With Arthur, we occasionally introduced characters with disabilities, but they never became part of the ensemble cast in any meaningful way. "As Hop's world grew in my imagination, I drew inspiration from the great work my friend Fred Rogers had done. "Even before Arthur ended, I was nurturing a new project about a little frog named Hop, for a younger audience," Brown said in a statement. Together, they show us the power of friendship and kindness as they navigate the mud puddles of life." With a gentle balance of humor and heart, our heroes go on fun escapades to discover that they can overcome any obstacle with perseverance, creativity, and teamwork. The logline: "Set in the aspirational community of Fair Village, every episode is grounded in emotional reality but soars into the world of fantasy, populated by dragons, trolls, talking banjos, and magic crayons.
