The Sneetches

The Sneetches is a 45-minute animated special that tells the story of the Star-Belly Sneetches and Moon-Belly Sneetches, who once lived together in harmony, until they decided their differences were too great. But when Stella, a Star-Belly, meets Pearl, a Moon-Belly, the two discover that Sneetches are Sneetches, and no one kind is best on the beaches.

The special is executive produced, developed, and showrun by Dustin Ferrer, directed by Brown Bag Films' Bronagh O’Hanlon (Doc McStuffins), with songs by Rob Cantor and music composed by Gregory Nicolett. With animation services provided by our Dublin and Bali studios.

The voice cast includes Amari McCoy as Stella, Sophie Petersen as Pearl, and Christopher Fitzgerald as Pelican.
