Abby's Flying Fairy School

Abby's Flying Fairy School is a CGI-animated Sesame Street segment starring fairy-in-training Abby Cadabby. Abby goes to Fairy School, learning from Mrs. Sparklenose. Her class features all new characters: classmates Blögg and Gonnigan, fairies, trolls, and a part-gerbil part-unicorn called Niblet. Episodes of the preschool series are eight to nine minutes long and debuted during Season 40.

The series focuses on rhyme, reasoning, problem-solving, and cooperation.

The principal characters in the series were designed by Peter De Sève, of the Ice Age movies, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille. The series is designed and animated by SpeakeasyFX.

An early concept for the series was to have the Muppet version of Abby board a bus, which transforms her into a CG character.
