Plot

Miles from Tomorrowland is an animated space adventure series. It centers on the Callisto family who live on a spaceship called the Stellosphere and work for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA).[9][10]

Set in outer space, the series the adventures of the Callisto family – 7-year-old Miles, big sister Loretta and their scientist parents Phoebe and Leo, who work for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA) on a mission to connect the universe. Each episode will feature two 11-minute adventure-filled stories as Miles and his family explore strange new worlds, taking young viewers and their families on a journey that fuels kids’ natural interest in the universe, and at the same time reminding them that what matters most is what lies closer to home – the family bond.

Production

Kanter said "We hope this series will influence a child's interest in science and technology by introducing them at an early age to the exciting world of space exploration, how things work and what lies beyond the here and now."[11]

Reception

The series was watched by more than 2.5 million viewers in the United Kingdom and 10% of British kids aged 4 to 7 watched it in the first week alone, making it the UK's highest rated pay TV kids channel. It was the highest rated show on Disney Junior for May 2015. Across the EMEA region, it received 8.7 million viewers, including 2.6 million young kids and 1.1 million boys.[61]

Neil Genzlinger of the New York Times called it "enjoyable." He went on to say, "This family is a foursome plus pet, but if The Jetsons was some kind of inspiration for it, everyone has received an upgrade... Yes, it's a bit creepy to think of two children being raised in the claustrophobic confines of a four-person spaceship, home schooling taken to an extreme. But the show is fast-moving enough to keep young viewers interested... and it's not shy about putting Miles and Loretta in gently life-threatening predicaments. Parents, meanwhile, might get a kick out of guessing who is providing the voices of some recurring characters."[9]

Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said "'Miles from Tomorrowland' has some real science facts threaded through it- there's mention of Jupiter's moon lo in an early episode- but given how these factoids sit side-by-side with the science fiction gadgets and spaceships, its unclear what positive educational impact their inclusion will have." He also noted that "the show's family role modeling is commendable."[62]

Since airing, Miles from Tomorrowland has achieved ratings success for Disney. According to a press release[63] by Disney–ABC Television Group using data from Nielsen, across Q3 of 2015 (6/29 through 9/27), Miles from Tomorrowland was the fourth highest-rated series across preschooler-dedicated TV networks in the USA with 653,000 total viewers ages 2+ who watched the show on Disney Junior. This ranking was surpassed only by PJ Masks (767,000), Sofia the First (667,000), and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (666,000), all Disney Junior shows as well.

Broadcast

Miles from Tomorrowland premiered on Disney Junior in Canada on February 21.[64] In Australia and New Zealand, Disney Junior premiered the series on April 18.[65] In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the show premiered on Disney Junior on May 11 as Miles from Tomorrowland.[66]

Video games

A variety of other video games are based on the series[67] including:

  1. Big Air Adventure[68] a 5-series crossover of titular characters from Doc McStuffins, Henry Hugglemonster, Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Sofia the First
  2. Interstellar Missions[69]
  3. Mars Rover Rescue[70]
