Allcroft's newly created version, with an original musical score featuring 26 Broadway style songs, was broadcast on the Children's ITV block of UK's ITV network in 1994 and has since been broadcast in other countries, including the United States (on Fox Kids and the Fox Family Channel), Canada, Australia, France, Scandinavia, Finland, Germany, Japan, and Israel.
The screen library consists of Series 1 (originally a 13x10 minute serial, later edited into the movie length epic story Mumfie's Quest), the Holiday Special Mumfie's White Christmas and Series 2 totaling 62 individual story episodes.
HIT placed Bridgefilms up for sale in October 2007[5] and Britt Allcroft re-acquired the series in March 2008,[6] Her family-owned business, Britt Allcroft Productions LLV, recently announced a home entertainment distribution deal for the Mumfie screen library with Lionsgate for the U.S., U.K, and many other parts of the world.
The series, which is now set on an island named Flutterstone, has new designs for pre-existing characters from the original series, giving them a more toy-like look as was the intention of the books (including Mumfie being shorter, with a smaller trunk and ears and actual hands and Pinky now having a flower near her left ear), as well as new characters such as a jellyfish named Jelly Bean (who, due to the new setting, replaces Scarecrow as a central character), a crocodile named King Kaleb (to whom the Black Cat is now the advisor of) and Boo Whale (a re-imagined version of Whale).
During its original run, Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie received positive reviews from critics.
