Pokémon’s newest series will find its way onto Disney+ for streaming.
Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu is part of the global distribution agreement between The Pokémon Company International and Disney+. The new stop-motion animation series and Pokémon the Series: The Beginning, the show that started it all, will stream on Disney+ with the latter already available. The trailer introduces Sirfetch’d and Pichu having a laugh as they reminisce about their adventures meeting and helping all different kinds of Pokémon.
“From the moment we had selected our titular heroes, we knew it had the makings of a really funny, heartfelt odd-couple story,” Director Tom Parkinson said.
“Sirfetch’d has this wonderfully noble, slightly bumbling energy–determined to be the best knight in the whole of Galar. While Pichu is the playful, curious squire, and often, actual voice of reason. They really are best friends, and we think audiences are going to fall in love watching them stumble, succeed and help Pokémon in need along the way.”
This new project will be all about Pokémon and will not include any human characters.
“These stories, full of adventure and heroism, all told from the perspective of Pokémon is made even more exciting through the lens of the incredible filmmakers at Aardman,” Phil Rynda, the director of original animation at The Pokémon Company International, said. “Aardman has brought Galar to life in a way that makes you feel like you can smell the air, touch the tree bark, and want to adventure alongside our series heroes.”
Aardman is a British animation studio known for its clay animation and stop-motion films such as Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep.
Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu comes out in 2027.
