Warner Brothers has unveiled their new Saturday Morning lineup for this fall and there is a new Henson series, Brats of the Dark Nebula which features puppetry and computer-generated imagery.

"Brats" will air at 11:00 AM, and is a totally new "edge-of-your-seat" SCI-Fi action-adventure, combining "got-to-see-it-to-believe-it" puppetry and computer-generated imagery, which follows the adventures of five orphans, "Brats" (whose families have mysteriously disappeared), from different war-torn planets thrown together and forced to survive by their wits in a galaxy under attack.

Traveling in intergalactic spaceships and equipped with exotic technologies, this motley tribe searches the stars for any surviving family members while battling the evil and mysterious "Shock" warriors, invaders who are out to destroy them.  The series utilizes innovative puppetry to bring life to the dynamic characters and combines it with state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery to create rich alien environments and exciting action scenes.  "Brats of the Dark Nebula," produced by The Jim Henson Company in association with Wandering Monkey Entertainment and Decode Entertainment Inc., is being executive produced by Brian Henson ("Muppets Tonight," "The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss," "Dinosaurs" and "Gulliver's Travels") and Dan Clark ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles").
