What's the Story?
Donkey Hodie meets a new friend when DANIEL TIGER VISITS SOMEPLACE ELSE. It all starts when Grampy Hodie enlists the help of Dad Tiger to fix a broken clock. Daniel Tiger (Rain Janjua) goes with his dad and makes a new friend in Donkey Hodie (Haley Jenkins). Together, they go on an adventure to recover a missing rainbow ball. They travel on Trolley across the land, reconnecting with old neighbors while making new friends as they get closer to saving the day.
Is It Any Good?
This puppet crossover combines the best of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Donkey Hodie in a special that delivers catchy tunes, life lessons and warm smiles. Evergreen, Daniel Tiger Visits Someplace Else shows preschoolers what it's like to explore new places, meet new people, and find old treasures. For kids familiar with only one of the shows, it's a tigertastic, heehawsome opportunity to cross over and fall in love with new characters. For fans of both properties, it's a unique chance to see their favorite characters interact.
