Firebuds comes in twelve episodes from the Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor creator Craig Gerber, packed with exciting activities for children to engage in.

The first season of the animated comedy-adventure show is set in a world of fantasy with talking vehicles, living, working, and playing with their human owners. 

It also showcases Bo and his fire engine sidekick, responding to and helping their society in all sorts of problems they face. Each episode focuses on two different stories, visualizing the impact of togetherness and kindness. 

Disney Television Animation News recently unveiled Firebuds' 1-minute, 13-second trailer via its primary YouTube Channel. 

It kicks off with the Firebuds trio and the unique talking cars off to life-saving missions within their community. From putting off fire outbreaks and saving their car friends from a deflated car tyre- safety comes first, second, and third for this incredible team of youngsters.

Other showrunners include Julius Aguimatang, Kris Wimberly (directors), Craig Simpson (producer), Robb Pratt (supervising director), Francis Giglio (art director), and Matt Hoverman (story editor).
