Madagascar: A Little Wild Interview: Johanna Stein & Dana Starfield
33Earlier this week I chatted with executive producer and co-executive producers of the new DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming series Madagascar: A Little Wild which is inspired by the blockbuster franchise, Madagascar. Reunite with the fun-loving Zoo Crew - Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria - as they navigate the Central Park Zoo and the big city in the all-new series DreamWorks Madagascar: A Little Wild, debuting on Hulu and Peacock September 7.
In addition to being a mom, Johanna is an award-winning writer-producer-director-actor whose work has been seen on Amazon, Netflix, Comedy Central, The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, PBS, The Oxygen Network, The Family Channel, and The BBC.
Additional Johanna Stein Bio
At DreamWorks, Johanna has written for Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny and Spirit Riding Free. On Madagascar: A Little Wild, Johanna and her all female-identifying writers room have actively pushed for diversity and inclusion both on screen and off screen. Working with ASL consultants, they included “Dave” and “Pickles” - two monkeys who communicate through ASL. Additionally, they’ve brought in Dr. Darnell Hunt (UCLA Professor of Sociology and African American Studies) as a consultant for representation and diversity and to flag any possible issues or blind spots the team may have.
Though her background is in comedy, Johanna has also written about parenting, with columns like this one, in The NYTimes (http://nyti.ms/1fxmGfC). Johanna’s bestselling book, “How Not to Calm a Child on a Plane” – a humor book about being a parent - was optioned by Will Arnett as a potential television pilot for CBS; and her viral video short, "Momhead" was featured in international media including The Today Show, The Doctors, and CNN, and adapted into “JojoHead” for the CW, the first-ever scripted series featured on Instagram’s “Stories”.
