Unikitty (stylized as UniKitty!) is an upcoming American-Danish animated fantasy family comedy television series for Cartoon Network, starring the character of the same name from the 2014 film The Lego Movie.[1]
The series was announced on May 10, 2017.[2] At the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, it was confirmed by producer Ed Skudder that the series would premiere in January 2018.[3] Three sneak previews, "Spoooooky Game", "Sparkle Matter Matters", and "No Day Like Snow Day", premiered on October 27[4], November 17, and December 1, 2017, respectively, prior to the official series premiere of six new episodes on January 1, 2018.[5]
Plot
As ruler of the kingdom, Unikitty has busy days full of royal responsibilities. Unikitty is most interested in making sure everyone is happy and ridding the kingdom of negativity, but don’t misunderstand her optimism – she is one kitty/unicorn hybrid not to be crossed. While she may be full of boundless energy and creativity, Unikitty is a force to be reckoned with if anyone gets in the way of spreading her positive vibes, especially if anyone makes her little brother and best friend, Puppycorn, sad. Also living in the castle are Dr. Fox, the resident scientist, Unikitty’s trusty bodyguard, Hawkodile, and Richard, a 1x3 grey Lego Brick. Through it all, Unikitty and her friends make sure that every day is the happiest and most creative ever.
