"Cleft Hood," a new episode of Disney Junior's hit series "Firebuds," premiering March 10, introduces Castor, a vehicle character born with a cleft hood. The episode was written by Jeremy Shipp and inspired by his own son Henry, who was born with a cleft lip and palate. Henry also voices Castor in the episode.
Following the screening will be a Q&A with Jeremy and Henry, as well as "Firebuds" creator/executive producer, Craig Gerber, speaking to the importance of onscreen representation. The conversation will be moderated by Lauren Appelbaum from prestigious national non-profit RespectAbility, who advised on the episode.
