Monday, Jan. 20 Disney Junior is premiering the first Western cartoon for preschoolers, led by Mandy Moore as the voice of the title character in "Sheriff Callie's Wild West."

The boot-stompin' stories will focus on lessons about having good manners, being honest, sharing and having good social ethics and is aimed as children from age 2-7. Callie, a Calico cat who is sheriff of Nice and Friendly Corners, will use her magic lasso and cowgirl prowess to keep the peace, aided by her deputy Peck ("High School Musical's" Lucas Grabeel) and Toby the cactus (Jessica Dicicco, "Gravity Falls").

The show will feature vibrant original songs, like "We're Gonna Clean Up This Town" and "The Cowgirl Twirl." It premieres Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. Et/Pt on Disney Junior. Watch a sneak peek below.

If making an animated series was easy, a child could do it.

Actually, one is involved in the process now ... but that still doesn't mean it's simple, especially if several different shows are combined. That's the approach of "Animation Domination High-Def," a late-night franchise Fox debuts Saturday, July 27. Two of the 15-minute programs will be ready for starters, and Fox will give them preview showings in primetime Sunday, July 21.

"Axe Cop" is the component involving the child, Malachai Nicolle, who's 8 now. At age 5, he developed the premise as an Internet comic book with his much-older brother Ethan. Nick Offerman ("Parks and Recreation") supplies the voice of the sleepless, birthday-cake-consuming title character, with Megan Mullally (Offerman's wife), Patton Oswalt and Ken Marino furnishing other vocals.

Also in the initial "High-Def" lineup is "High School USA!" with singer-actress Mandy Moore and Vincent Kartheiser -- alias Pete Campbell on AMC's "Mad Men" --...
