JENNY: Today, we are chatting with the cast
of the new Original Series, "Turner & Hooch,"
and learning about the music behind "Monsters at Work"
from Disney Television Animation.
We also get to hear from the cast of "Mysterious Benedict
Society" and much more.
I'm Jenny.
And I'm Andre.
This is "What's Up, Disney+," where
we talk all things Disney+.
[THEME MUSIC]
"Turner & Hooch," an Original Series,
centers around U.S. Marshal Scott Turner, played by Josh Peck.
When Turner inherits a big, unruly dog, Hooch,
he soon realizes the pet he didn't want
may be the partner that he needs.
[HOOCH BARKING]
[WHISTLES]
Didn't see that coming.
Great job.
Get that dog out of here.
Hooch the pooch.
It looks like anything is paw-ssible if you believe.
[LAUGHS] Get it-- paws?
Sounds like he's a little ruff around the edges--
like that pun.
Now let's toss it to the cast.
Hey, everyone.
I'm Josh Peck.
I'm Carra Patterson, and we're the cast
of the new Disney+ Original Series, "Turner & Hooch."
Today, we're going to find out who is more of a Turner
and who is more of a Hooch.
[GROANS]
I'm so sorry.
JOSH PECK: Clean or messy?
Definitely clean.
I'm pretty clean.
Clean, but my closet's messy.
JOSH PECK: Sarcasm or physical comedy?
I'm the queen of sarcasm.
Ooooh, I gotta go physical comedy.
Physical comedy, for sure.
Ooh, sorry about that.
Physical comedy.
REGINALD VELJOHNSON: Classical music or rock music?
I'm definitely rock music, hardcore.
I'm gonna go classical.
I'll say classical music.
LYNDSEY FONSECA: Morning person or night owl?
Morning person, but only because my son made me one.
Definitely night owl.
Luckily, later in life, I became a morning person.
JOSH PECK: Coffee or energy drink?
Coffee all day, every day.
Always coffee.
Coffee.
VANESSA LENGIES: Garden salad or sloppy Joes?
Garden salad.
Sloppy Joes all day.
Definitely sloppy Joes.
[LAUGHTER]
I think I'm going to go with garden salad for this one.
JOSH PECK: Routine or spontaneity?
Ooh, I love a good routine.
Spontaneity.
I like routine.
I like rigidity.
I don't want anything to change, ever.
Am I a Hooch?
Am I a-- no, I'm a Turner.
[BELL RINGING]
I knew it.
I like that.
That's great.
Josh Peck, that's for you.
I'm a Turner.
It makes sense. You know.
It'd be weird if not.
Well, that makes sense.
I'm his partner.
Turner.
Yeah, that's not a big surprise for me.
[BELL RINGING]
What?
Me, more like Hooch?
I was expecting that, honestly, on the choices.
I was expecting that too, Jeremy.
[HOWLS]
That checks out.
I play Scott Turner in the new show for Disney+,
"Turner & Hooch."
And when we meet Scott, he just has
this beautiful little life that he's really set up for himself.
And then all of a sudden, he's given this gigantic
French Mastiff by his sister.
The entire series, but especially the first episode,
is about Scott adjusting to this dog that he never wanted,
but maybe he always needed.
It is a story about an unlikely duo.
There's action.
There's comedy.
There's love.
It's an all-around amazing, exciting, slobbery time.
My favorite moment was shooting
the action scenes with Hooch.
He was always super fun and grounded.
And I think Hooch was one of the best actors on the show.
[LAUGHS]
I don't know how to take that.
OK.
The action aspect of "Turner & Hooch"
was definitely something new for me,
but I think I did an OK job.
I'm sure my mom will be impressed.
I liked working with, like, all the animals.
It was a good experience to have because I really love animals,
and I hope everyone who walks away from the show
has love for animals, too.
I hope audiences not only laugh a lot from this series,
but I hope what they take from this series
is a lesson on being open to the universe
and being available for surprises,
because sometimes that's when the best things in life happen.
There's a lot of great kids' shows,
and there's a lot of great adult-only shows,
but I think it's more rare to find a show
you can watch with your kids.
So if parents can genuinely relax
and their kids can laugh at Hooch
and everyone can be happy together,
I think that, hopefully, we've done our job.

JENNY: Disney+ received 71 Emmy nominations.
Congratulations to all the nominees.
Hey, this is Don, the composer of the Disney+
original series, "Monsters at Work."
While working on the music for this series,
I was inspired by, of course, Randy Newman, Miles Davis, John
Coltrane, and, of course, lots of orchestral music
to help with the action stuff.
None of us will ever speak of this again.
Nobody saw nothing.
DOMINIC LEWIS: When you blend those things all together,
you get a really cool mixture of "Monsters at Work."
My favorite character has to be Fritz.
He's just so lovable and adorable.
My favorite piece I composed was actually "Fritz's Theme."
He's sort of a guy that leads with his tummy,
and he's such a good- natured, good-hearted guy.
I wanted to come up with something that
was light and breezy, give that kind of, like,
bumbling feeling of him, like, leading with his tummy
and being all adorable and cute.
I am proud to be a member of the Monsters,
Inc., facilities team!
DOMINIC LEWIS: Stream "Monsters at Work," an Original Series,
now on Disney+.
"Mysterious Benedict Society" is about a group of orphans who
are placed undercover at a boarding
school called The Institute.
They must foil a nefarious plot with global ramifications
while creating a new sort of family along the way.
We got to hear from Tony Hale himself, who plays Mr.
Benedict and Dr. L.D. Curtain.
Let's take a look.
Hey, how's it going?
What's up, Disney+?
I am Tony Hale, and I played Mr. Benedict and Dr. L.D. Curtain
in "The Mysterious Benedict Society."
My favorite memory from set was the crew that we worked with.
We were all working during COVID.
And when we first met them, they were all wearing masks.
And then five months later, we never saw any of their faces.
So at the end of the five months,
the crew gave me this book of them--
each of the crew members with a mask and then without a mask
because I had never seen their faces.
So it was such a fantastic moment to finally,
after five months, see their faces because these-- this crew
was fantastic.
And Kristen Schaal and I were like, "I can't
believe that's their face.
I can't believe they look like that."
It was pretty fun.
"Mysterious Benedict Society" is
now streaming on Disney+.
What a show.
We went from undercover dogs to the mysterious Tony Hale.
Be sure to head on over to Disney+ to stream all
of your favorites.
We'll see you next time.
I see fear and bad fashion.
You're very unpleasant.
OK.
