Marvie Sings Rubber Duckie (Sesame Studios)
Sesame Studios is a YouTube channel run by Sesame Workshop, featuring all-original content. Launched on May 6, 2016, the channel was hosted by a digital puppet character, Marvie, created by Puppet Heap and performed by Haley Jenkins.
Although the channel's content is separate from the Sesame Street franchise, there have been several crossovers and mentions between the two.
Treehouse TV has aired the shorts on Canadian cable television.[1]
New content for the channel was produced through 2020. In September 2021, the Sesame Studios accounts across YouTube and social media were re-branded to focus on the television productions from Sesame Workshop beyond the main Sesame Street program.[2] In 2023, the YouTube channel began publishing the Sesame Street-based web series "Power of We Club."
