Wilbur Mole Rat and all his Fellow Mole Rats in the Tunnel have always been, well&#8230;naked. But when Wilbur discovers clothing and a love for style, the Tunnel turns upside down! An animated hour of &#8220;underground&#8221; music and comedy about being comfortable in your own skin, this adaptation of the popular theatre experience will knock your socks on!<\/p>\n<p>Willems and Tom Warburton co-wrote the script with original tunes by Willems and composer Deborah Wicks La Puma. Willems and Warburton will executive produce alongside Stampede Ventures&#8217; Greg Silverman and Jay Judah, with OddBot Animation Studios serving as animation house. Megan Alrutz will also serve as producer on behalf of the Mo Willems Workshop. Songs are produced by Dan Petty, Doug Petty, and Michelle Lewis.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a breakdown of the main characters:<\/p>\n<p>Wilbur &#8211; voiced by singer\/actor Jordan Fisher (Work It) &#8211; is a sensitive, curious and brave mole rat. He sees the best (dressed) in everyone and is a dreamer always looking at the clouds when everyone else has tunnel vision. Wilbur thinks there has to be more to life than just being 100% naked 500% of the time. And when random articles of clothing start falling from the sky, he sees his chance to be different by wearing them! Even if that means not fitting in with Mole Rat society, or more importantly, his friends.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1034298330\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Grande &#8211; voiced by Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) &#8211; is the popular kid and, consequently, the one with the most to lose if the rules of nakedness in Mole Rat society change. She&#8217;s bold, brash and ever so confident (even if some of that confidence comes from a place of naked insecurity). As the front mole of the Tunnel&#8217;s Rock Band, she&#8217;s never seen without her bandmates Tall, Venti and Wilbur. But her friendship is put to the test when Wilbur starts wearing clothes, something she&#8217;s not ready to accept.<\/p>\n<p>Tall &#8211; voiced by Kate Micucci (Garfunkel and Oates) &#8211; is a rule-follower with a heart of gold. Tall in name yet short in stature, she&#8217;s a voice of reason who thinks she can see where Wilbur is coming from with his non-nakedness but is not brave enough to stand up to the rest of Mole Rat society.<\/p>\n<p>Venti &#8211; voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson (Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs) &#8211; is a big lug that needs just two things in life: Rocking out with his bandmates and being stark, raving naked! While not the deepest cave in the tunnel, he&#8217;s got the biggest heart of any mole and will do anything for his friends.<\/p>\n<p>Grand-Mah &#8211; voiced by Carol Kane (The Princess Bride) &#8211; is the larger-than-life matriarch of Mole Rat society. She dug The Tunnel with her own teeth and thus attained legendary status. And while the posters and propaganda depicting her reflect youth, vigor and dominance, in reality she&#8217;s grown both longer in tooth and shorter in stature. Regardless of age, she&#8217;s lost none of her intimidating veneer, sagely wisdom and dislike of oxymorons.<\/p>\n<p><em>Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Underground Rock Experience<\/em> is part of WarnerMedia&#8217;s multi-year deal with Willems and producing partner Stampede Ventures to create live-action Storytime Specials and multiple animated and live-action series based on the author&#8217;s wildly popular children&#8217;s books, which are adored by kids and adults alike.
