Frequency: 1 episode/31d. Total Eps: 18

We're putting the spotlight back on the animals who bring the clawed, pawed, feathered, and furred characters we love to life. We learn about the animals' lives and the movie magic behind their acting. Then we review the movie or TV show and its animal actors, dive into a surprise scenario, and answer the important questions, like: "If you had to choose one animal actor to adopt, one to send to a no kill shelter, and one to taxidermy...?"
