	Movies - Johnny and the Sprites

Johnny and the Sprites is a musical television show aimed for preschoolers that airs daily on the "Playhouse Disney" program of The Disney Channel. The show was created for, is produced by, and stars John Tartaglia. Each episode of the show features a musical number, many of which are written by various notable Broadway composers. The show's theme song was written by Stephen Schwartz.

The show premiered on October 9, 2005 with five 5-minute-long episodes, which continually play on The Disney Channel's programming. However, due to extremely positive audience reaction, the show is expected to expand to a full 30-minute series sometime in 2006. The current episodes can also be viewed on the Disney Channel's official website.

The show follows Johnny T (Tartaglia), a musician who moves into a treehouse left to him by his late-uncle. There, he discovers little magical creatures (brought to life through puppetry) called "sprites," who introduce him to their fantasy world. In return, Johnny shows the sprites, named Ginger and Basil, what it is to be human, teaching them (and the viewer) an important lesson through song, dance, and entertainment.
