Chibiverse is an American animated television series developed by Gino Guzzardo, produced by Disney Television Animation and premiered on Disney Channel on July 30, 2022. The series is based on the studio's Chibi Tiny Tales short series.
The series centers on the adventures of "chibi" versions of Disney Channel characters as they live in their own universe. The episodes feature several Chibi Tiny Tales shorts, hosted by specific characters who, unlike the shorts, actually speak. As the hosts introduce themselves and announce the next short, a plot is intertwined throughout these snippets until the episode's conclusion.
In the second season, the series switches to a faux game show format though the season finale is a comedy roast.
Other franchises represented, albeit with no voice acting, include: , Camp Rock, Fish Hooks, Gargoyles, Gravity Falls, Halloweentown, High School Musical, Kim Possible, and Milo Murphy's Law.
In July 2022, Disney Television Animation announced that the series, based on the Chibi Tiny Tales shorts, would premiere on July 30.[2] The show consists of shorts centered on "chibi" versions of characters from various Disney Channel programs such as Amphibia and Phineas and Ferb, as well as Disney Channel films such as Zombies and High School Musical, compiled into a half-hour series.[3] Some shorts are sometimes repeated.
Rob Cantor and Dan Siegel wrote the theme song, with Cantor performing alongside Baraka May.[4]
All episodes were directed by Sabrina Alberghetti.
Chibiverse premiered on Disney Channel on July 30, 2022. Episodes from the first season were uploaded to Disney Channel's YouTube channel prior to their television debuts on the same days.[5] The first season was added to Disney+ on March 8, 2023.[6]
