Doc McStuffins is an animated musical children's television series created by Chris Nee and produced by Brown Bag Films.

[7] On February 7, 2022, it was announced that the series would be celebrating its 10th anniversary in the form of an animated musical special, which was premiered on August 26, 2022.

[8][9][10] The series chronicles freckled,[11] 7-year-old[12] Dottie "Doc" McStuffins[13] who decides she wants to become a doctor like her mother, a pediatrician.

With the help from her 4 stuffed animals: Stuffy, Hallie, Lambie, and Chilly, Doc helps toys recover or "feel better" by giving them check-ups and diagnosing their fictional illnesses with an encyclopedia called "The Big Book of Boo Boos" and another encyclopedia called "The Big Vet Book" for her toy pets when she's a veterinarian.

[25] On November 16, 2016, the series was renewed for a fifth season by Disney Junior, which premiered on October 26, 2018 with its first episode titled "The Pet Rescue Team!".

Kia Morgan Smith of Cincomom.com said that "It truly warmed my heart and almost brought tears to my eyes when my 8-year-old, Mikaela, saw 'Doc McStuffins' for the first time and said, 'Wow, mommy—she's brown,'"[27] Dr. Myiesha Taylor founding president of Artemis Medical Society said that "This program featuring a little African-American girl and her family is crucial to changing the future of this nation."

Taylor also applauded the concept of its portrayal of a young black girl who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her mother as a doctor as the lead character, that inspired her to collect pictures of 131 doctors—all women of color—and publish a collage online under the heading, 'We Are Doc McStuffins.

[29] In 2013, $500 million worth of Doc McStuffins merchandise was sold,[30] something The New York Times writers claimed industry experts said "seems to be setting a record" for a "toy line based on an African-American character".

[33] The characters were voiced by real-life lesbian actresses Wanda Sykes (Thea) and Portia de Rossi (Edie).

[34][35][36][37] George Foster Peabody's craters were recognized by a Platinum Special Honorary Academy Award Of Merit for Record Breaking Achievement in Excellence.
