World-leading artists, animators and writers have come together to work on this extraordinary show. The Beat Bugs are charming, funny, adventurous, and have a knack for getting themselves into mischief and mayhem. Each of the five friends (Jay, Kumi, Crick, Buzz, and Walter) has a distinctive personality, and they display the charm and energy of five knockabout, lovable kids. They are best friends who band together to explore and learn in an overgrown suburban backyard, which to them is their entire universe.<\/p>\n<p>The show will feature some of the most well-known Beatles songs woven into the narrative of each episode, with <span class=\"xn-person\">Eddie Vedder<\/span>, P!nk, <span class=\"xn-location\">James Bay<\/span>, Sia, The Shins, Of Monsters and Men, <span class=\"xn-person\">Chris Cornell<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Regina Spektor<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">James Corden<\/span>, and Birdy each recording their rendition of an iconic song. Further artists joining the project are expected to be announced in the coming months. Among the songs featured include <i>Help!<\/i>, <i>All You Need Is Love, Come Together, <span class=\"xn-person\">Penny Lane<\/span>, Yellow Submarine<\/i>, <i>Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds<\/i>, <i>Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band<\/i>, and <i>Magical Mystery Tour<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Personally I&#8217;m very grateful to be part of Josh&#8217;s vision,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Eddie Vedder<\/span>. &#8220;A tremendous show for kids that combines beautiful animation with great stories and obviously some of the best songs ever written.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a rare occasion to be presented with a truly one-of-a-kind children&#8217;s show that is so perfectly suited to Netflix,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Andy Yeatman<\/span>, director of original kid&#8217;s content at Netflix. &#8220;Josh and his team have not only developed a compelling children&#8217;s show filled with life lessons, but they&#8217;ve built a show that will transcend generations and have parents and grandparents enjoying right alongside their little ones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Josh Wakely<\/span> says: &#8220;Bringing <i>BEAT BUGS<\/i> to life on Netflix and having a platform to re-imagine this universally acclaimed music for families around the world is an exhilarating and rewarding experience.
