Pibby (also known as Come and Learn with Pibby! and Learning with Pibby: Apocalypse) is a
Premise
When a preschool educational television series is invaded by a malevolent entity, the protagonist, Pibby, escapes into different animated programs only for the entity to transform various cartoon characters into corrupted zombie-like versions of themsleves. Along the way, Pibby teams up with a cliché superhero sidekick, Alloy Boy, and a Disney-influenced villainess, Melira, to fight back against the entity. Although none of them are traditional heroes, they along with many others have to learn to work together to grow up and save the multiverse.
Characters
- Pibby (voiced by Nikki Castillo): a Dora the Explorer-esque preschool character. She is a reluctant hero, wanting to stay childlike forever, but when her origin series is invaded, Pibby will be forced to grow up and become the hero that she needed to be from the start.
- Alloy Boy (voiced by Marcus Toji): a Robin-esque superhero sidekick.
- Melira (voiced by Alex Newell): a Cruella de Vil-esque anthropomorphic cat who serves as an antagonist in her origin series. She is a rude and self-centered individual who begrudgingly becomes companions with Pibby and Alloy Boy.
- BunBun (voiced by Jack Stanton): Pibby's innocent rabbit friend who got corrupted by the glitch.
