Proud Family's Wizmas: A Stop-Motion First!
12 Nov
Summary
- A Proud Family Christmas special uses stop-motion animation.
- It's one of the first stop-motion holiday specials for Black audiences.
- Penny Proud must save Christmas after inadvertently destroying it.
For the first time, "The Proud Family" is getting a stop-motion holiday special, titled "A Proud Family Wizmas." This special, premiering on November 14 on Disney+, brings creator Bruce W. Smith's vision of a stop-motion holiday tradition to Black audiences. Smith noted the absence of such a special for the community.
"A Proud Family Wizmas" follows Penny Proud as she accidentally destroys Christmas and takes on the responsibility to save it. EP Ralph Farquhar hopes the special will become a cultural touchstone, comparable to classic holiday films.
The voice cast includes Kyla Pratt as Penny, Tommy Davidson as Oscar, and Paula Jai Parker as Trudy. Notable guest stars are Anderson .Paak, Lil Rel Howery, and JB Smoove, among others. Gabrielle Union also returns as Talia Rogue.
