Rob the Robot (2018 Disney revival)

Rob the Robot is a Canadian-American CGI children's comedy-science fiction-adventure animated revival of the 2010-2017 series of the same name. The continuation of the show was produced by Disney Television Animation (after Disney bought the rights to Rob the Robot from Entertainment One), with it's original studios One Animation and Amberwood Entertainment.

Premise
The revival of the series is pretty much the same as the original. It follows four young friends of undefined ages; Rob, the metal leader of the group, Ema, the odd one out who likes to dance, T-K, the genius and toolkit of the group, and Orbit, a clumsy yet artistic fellow, as they embark on adventures to various planets to solve problems/engage in their fun activity.

Main characters

 * Rob (voiced by Stacey DePass): The main protagonist of the revival. A young metal robot, he is curious and adventurous, and he will not hesitate to plan a mission, whether it is to solve problems or to just have fun. In Season 2, he adopts and becomes a father figure to an even younger robot from the Robot Planet who he names Rob Jr.
 * Ema (voiced by Camden Angelis): The only person in the group who is not a robot, Ema the alien is a spunk of lively energy who likes to dance.
 * T-K (voiced by Jordi Mand): A red robot who moves around with a built-on wheel, she is one-of-a-kind, possessing the ability to keep objects in her trusty hammerspace tummy trunk, regardless of size. In the revival, her name is now spelled "T-K" with a hyphen.
 * Orbit (voiced by Jake Beale; Connor Fielding in season 2 and 3): An orange robot with two bandages taped to the back of his head, a chip on his forehead, crooked antenna and two tank-like threads as feet. Although he might be a talented artist, he is also often clumsy.
 * Rob Jr. (voiced by Stacey DePass): Rob's adopted son who makes his debut in Season 2. He is basically a smaller clone of his father with a beanie cap where his antenna should be. He is similar in personality to Wade from the comic strip U.S. Acres, being afraid of almost everything; because of this, he is said to be the polar opposite of his curious and adventurous dad, but nonetheless he doesn't hesitate to join a mission Rob plans. He also has a fear of mice, which he expresses towards Squeak. Despite his cowardly nature however, he loves his adoptive father very much and gets along pretty fine with him, Ema, T-K and Orbit. He is the youngest, shortest, and most innocent member in the gang.
 * Mission Control (voiced by John Stocker): The person who chooses the correct planets the gang wants to go to. He is merely a huge robotic hand hanging from the rocket's ceiling.
 * Squeak (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker): The gang's pet wind-up mouse who often accompanies his owners on their missions. Besides his new voice actor, he remains unchanged in the revival.

Recurring characters

 * Mea (voiced by Tara Strong): Ema's cousin who resembles her but has dandelion-colored skin, purple pajamas with two buttons instead of a zipper, no visible nostrils, blue bows on her antennae in place of the pink things Ema wears on hers, and is a tad shorter than Ema.
 * News Reporter (voiced by Justin Roiland): In every episode, The reporter tells the team about what's happening around every planet, but sometimes, he just loves hamburgers.
 * Crazy Crow (voiced by Tom Kenny): He just a crazy crow cartoon character that Rob and the gang love to watch, Although it's their favourite show. The animation for Crazy Crow was done by Rough Draft Studios Inc

Game
11 days after it's release, Disney Mobile and TVOKids released another spin-off of 'Where's My Water? entitled Where's My Rob?' on January 19. It was released for the iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Windows.

Miniseries
As with most Disney Junior shows, a miniseries spun off from the reboot titled Orbit's Painting Pain was aired a few days after it's release. The episodes in this miniseries were occasionally aired before a Disney Junior show would come next.

Trivia

 * The Pick a Planet song played before the gang selects a planet from Mission Control has been slightly recomposed to be more upbeat and funky.
 * Due to Disney now owning Rob the Robot in 2018 as said above, the Disney logo now appears at the top of the Rob the Robot logo, both in the end of the opening sequence and in posters.
 * Despite One Animation still being credited, Jam Filled Toronto now does the animation, and as a result now has smoother and realistic shading with much more clearer shadows, to distinguish the series from the original non-Disney version.
 * Now has it's own tropes page.
 * This is the second non-Disney cartoon to be made into one, the first being Doug and the third one being Muppet Babies; it is also the first Canadian cartoon to be made into an American Disney cartoon.
 * A portrait of Rob wearing Mickey Mouse ears can be seen frequently in the rocket at the beginning of each episodes. Giving the fact that the revival was made by Disney, it was probably intentional.
 * Alongside that, there is also a portrait of Orbit wearing Goofy's hat, making sense because of the similarities between both Orbit and Goofy:
 * They have a tendency to get injured due to their recklessness.
 * They both have a signature chuckle; Goofy has "Ah-hyuck!" while Orbit has a pre-recorded chuckle that is heard frequently in most episodes.
 * A character from the show now narrates the title of an episode, just like most Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior shows. The character who narrates it is usually the episode's focus; for example, in "The Bot in the Cloth", Rob narrates that episode's title.
