Exclusive: Check Out a First Look at the HAMSTER & GRETEL Main Title Sequence
It’s San Diego Comic-Con and fans attending were able to check out a first look at the main title for Dan Povenmire’s (Phineas and Ferb) upcoming show Hamster & Gretel. Well, Disney Channel also reached out to GeekTyrant and were kind enough to let us exclusively share that first look with those unable to attend the panel. In case you’re unaware of the show, it follows brother and sister Kevin and Gretel who are going to be given super powers when something goes wrong and instead of Kevin, Gretel’s pet hamster named Hamster gets powers. It looks like a lot of fun and Povenmire has a good track record.
Disney Branded Television's superhero comedy Hamster & Gretel follows Kevin and younger sister Gretel, who are about to be bestowed super powers by space aliens. But something goes awry, and it's Gretel and her pet hamster (named Hamster) who suddenly have new abilities. Now, protective older brother Kevin must figure out how to work with Gretel and her pet Hamster to protect their city from mysterious dangers.
You can tune in to Hamster & Gretel on Disney Channel and Disney XD on August 12. In addition, an album of music will release on the same day and given how good the music for Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law are, this one is sure to be full of bangers. The series stars Meli Povenmire as Gretel; Michael Cimino (Love, Victor) as Gretel's older brother, Kevin; Beck Bennett (SNL) as Gretel's pet hamster, Hamster; Joey King (Kissing Booth) as her tech-savvy cousin, Fred; Matt Jones (Bob Hearts Abishola) as the siblings' easygoing father, Dave; and Carolina Ravassa (Maya and the Three) as their charismatic mother, Carolina. In addition, the following individuals will play recurring characters: Priah Ferguson (Stranger Things) as Gretel’s best friend, Bailey; Liza Koshy (Liza on Demand) as news reporter Veronica Hill; Alyson Stoner (Phineas and Ferb) and Brock Powell (Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe) as the evil sibling duo Lauren and Lyle a.k.a The Destructress and FistPuncher, respectively; and viral rap sensation Akintoye as Kevin’s confident buddy, Anthony. If you like guest stars, this series will have plenty! Jenny Lorenzo (Victor and Valentino) as Carolina’s mother, Abuelita; legendary Latin pop star Karina La Voz as the tear-jerking La Cebolla; YouTube star Thomas Sanders (Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe) as frat guy horse-man Neighslayer; TikTok star Casey Hamilton (@MrHamilton) as Gretel’s mild-mannered substitute teacher, Mr. Chabner; and Adam Rose (Merry Happy Whatever) as evil jingle writer The Earworm. I’ve included the theme song clip as well as the opening for the show which includes the sneak-peek and the theme song. Enjoy!
