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.

Premise

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.

Voice cast

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.
