Disney-A-Poem-Is

A Poem Is... is a mini-series featured on the Disney Jr. channel.

The series consists of 21 retold classic poems read by celebrity guests (In the UK, these were re-narrated by Robert Webb, who later did Tales of Friendship with Winnie the Pooh for Disney Jr UK). Each episode begins with several young children speaking about what they believe a poem is. The series' most notable feature, however, is that the clips are taken from classic and current Disney animated features and shorts.

The series premiered on February 14, 2011 when the Disney Junior block debuted.
