Word Party (also known as Jim Henson's Word Party) is an American animated children's television series that began streaming on Netflix in 2016. The series was created by The Jim Henson Company, using Henson Digital Puppetry Studio.

Overview

The vocabulary-building program features a group of five young animals, Kip the wallaby (John Tartaglia), Bailey the elephant (Victor Yerrid), leader Franny the cheetah (Donna Kimball), the mascot Lulu the panda (Dorien Davies), and Tilly the tortoise (Alice Dinnean), "as they sing, dance and play."[1] The show invites young viewers to help teach the baby animals new words, practice these new words themselves, and celebrate these achievements with a "Word Party!", hence the series' title name. The show is narrated by Patina Miller.
