A Magical World of Adventure and Friendship
“Morphle and the Magic Pets” invites viewers to join Mila and her stepbrother, Jordie, as they embark on magical adventures with Morphle, Mila’s enchanted pet capable of morphing into anything she imagines. Together, they navigate a world filled with mischievous magic pets, solving problems and making “magic matches” for each unique and humorous newcomer they encounter. At its core, the series celebrates the power of imagination, the joy of adventure, and the unbreakable bond of friendship that makes anything possible.
Expanding Morphle’s Universe with Disney

Behind the Magic
The original “Morphle” YouTube series laid the groundwork for this imaginative universe, and “Morphle and the Magic Pets” promises to expand upon it with more substantial narratives and character development. The series is based on the creative vision of Arthur van Merwijk and was co-developed by Mark Palmer (“Hello Ninja”) and Consulting Producer Jill Sanford (“Go! Go! Cory Carson”), with Nick Confalone (“Helpsters”) serving as Story Editor.
