Disney Junior’s new Disney Junior Night Light short-form programming block is set to premiere the first episode of the Disney Interactive Family-produced series DJ Tales at 9:25 p.m. ET/PT on September 4. Get your first look here.

DJ Tales features costumed finger puppets performing kids’ versions of classic fairytales and a sneak peek of one of the series’ 10 short-form episodes entitled Three Pigs can be viewed below or here.

Additional episodes will air daily in rotating slots during the nightly programming block which launches September 4 airing from 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., ET/PT.

Disney Interactive Family is producing the interstitial content and Babble, Disney’s parenting blog platform, is sponsoring the block. The new programming will also be featured online on Babble’s YouTube channel and at DisneyJunior.com/Nightlight.

Additional new series include the Disney art-themed Picture This and the healthy cooking show That’s Fresh hosted by chef Helen Cavallo.

Shorts in development include a series starring child and family photographer Me Ra Koh, a series focusing on stay-at-home dads, and vignettes featuring parents sharing the story of the first day they brought their child home.
