Apple TV+ will imminently be premiering Goldie, an all-new animated series for kids and families. Ahead of the show’s launch on streaming, CBR can unveil an exclusive sneak peek featuring the voice of the world’s most beloved parodist.
Goldie is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Valentine’s Day, which is Feb. 14. Inspired by Emily Brundige’s award-winning short film released in 2019, the series is described by the streamer as a “larger-than-life celebration of uniqueness and embracing your true self.” Embracing classic 2D animation, Goldie tells the story of a giant young girl named Goldie, following her on her adventures in the town of Boysenberg. In CBR’s sneak peek of the show, guest star “Weird Al” Yankovic voices a robot chef with the ability to generate desired foods on command — even if it’s not exactly what was asked for. The clip can be watched below.
