Disney+ and The Pokemon Company International announced (Aug 28, 2026) a global content deal that gives Aardman's stop-motion series 'Pokemon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd & Pichu' a confirmed home: it streams exclusively on Disney+ and airs on Disney XD worldwide starting in 2027, alongside a re-release of the classic 'Pokemon the Series: The Beginning.' The series -- already catalogued with director Tom Parkinson and its Annecy 2026 panel reveal -- tells its story in the Galar region through puppetry and Pokemon cries, with no human dialogue.
