Timed to the announcement, Disney Channel YouTube debuted Broken Karaoke — a new animated short-form series that spotlights favorite Disney Channel characters singing parodies of popular songs. The first short, “Queen of Nice,” features Tilly Green singing a parody of viral sensation “Queen of Mean” from the global hit Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants 3.

In addition, new Random Rings shorts, featuring Cricket and Tilly Green calling unsuspecting real-world people, continue to roll out every Sunday through Oct. 27 on Disney Channel and Disney Channel YouTube.

A Disney Television Animation production, Big City Greens stars Chris Houghton as Cricket Green, Artemis Pebdani (Scandal) as sweet Gramma Alice, Marieve Herington (How I Met Your Mother) as quirky older sister Tilly Green, and Bob Joles (Puss in Boots) as hard-working father Bill Green.
