RUMOR: Disney Enterprises Inc. Lists Potential Disney Television Animation Series/Project "Ozzie Fox".

The future's in my hands... or paws in this case....? 🦊🍃

Disney Kids & Family recently announced two new projects heading to Disney Channel and Disney+: "Warrior Cats" and "Journey" however a new trademark from Disney Enterprises Inc. hints a potential new member to join Phineas, Ferb, Cricket Green, Tilly Green, Kiff, Barry, Zed, Adission, Ssyelle, Key, Rose, Jeru and Wayne as they recently trademarked a project under the name "Ozzie Fox".

The company listed two trademarks for this potential series one for soundtracks and the other under the "Entertaiment Services namely, an ongoing multimedia program featuring action, adventure, animated content, comedy, and music."

Of course not much is know about the creator, overall tone and synopsis but the name and description of the trademark can give us a hint that this project is under the "comedy, action, adventure, musical" genre something more akin to Disney Channel rather than Disney Jr. and that the project will star anthropomorphic animals in a similar vein to "Kiff" or other rival networks and streamers such as Nickelodeon's "Harvey Beaks", "We Bare Bears" at Cartoon Network and the recent Netflix adult animated series "Mating Season"

If "Ozzy Fox" is real then it could be a nice addition to Disney Channel's animation slate. Other projects in production are a upcoming action-adventure comedy series in collaboration with Jeff "Swampy" Marsh's studio Surfing Giant Studios, "Pouic And Pica" and "Sunday Morning" which got awarded by Disney Television Animation as Best MIFA Pitch during the 2025 & 2026 edition Annecy Film Festival (Both got optioned for a development deal for a potential series at Disney); As well two potential projects "Suburbion" and "Fuzz" which recently their pilots got revealed via SAG-AFTRA's website.

Welcome to Ouimper, a very normal town….. where…. nothing …. really… bad… happens…… nothing. 🟢 🅂🄴🄽🄳 🄷🄴🄻🄿

Cartoon Brew sat down with "The Doomies" co-creator Andrés Fernandez and revealed some details on the show:

-Early versions of the show had it taking place at America but when Disney asked it to make it more personal, they changed the setting to France.

-“Originally it was not specifically set in Brittany. It was more like an American desert or something like that. Disney was saying, maybe you can make the location like something you really know.” Andres Fernandez

-"In winter, there are not many people, and in the summer it explodes, So, for me it was the perfect opportunity to show my town and my country.” - Andres Fernandez

-Unlike similar shows like Cartoon Network's "Over The Garden Wall" and Disney's own "Gravity Falls" where the supernatural events are in wilderness or small mountain towns. "The Doomies" unfolds in a community shaped by tourism, local traditions, & generational residents who coexist with an influx of outsiders.

-The weather became part of the storytelling. Fernandez wanted viewers to feel the dampness and fog that settles over industrial skylines in the region for much of the year. the crew didn’t want the series to become visually dreary.

-Fernandez wanted audiences to recognize classic horror archetypes with new layers we haven't seen before. A big example would be the vampires from the series premiere "Polza brought the monsters to life in a way we hadn’t seen before."

-Andres Fernandez on Kim played by Noel Gibson (Nickelodeon Movies and Point Grey Pictures "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem") "She doesn’t know how to fight without her fists, anime and martial arts was a reference for me to have that type of character really fight."

"The Doomies" premieres Friday June, 26 on Disney+
