Also, aside from seeing Peter, Benjamin, and Lily back for new adventures, the new season will see new characters such as Tom Kitten, Mittens, Pig Robinson, and Mr. Tolly the Tortoise.

- After getting the viewers' hearts touched by an animated short called ANYA, made in collaboration with TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE, an organization dedicated to help orphaned and abandoned Russian children, and Brown Bag Films (that's the studio that brought you Octonauts, Doc McStuffins, Henry Hugglemonster, and Peter Rabbit, among many others), Allison at Crafty Is Cool inviting anyone who's good at making crafts to make their own Pascha (that's the ragged stuff toy as seen from that short) that will be sent for the benefit of TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE.

TTFN!!!
