Superheroes are big for kids of all ages these days. This is especially true in our household. Though I have to admit that I often find myself ‘screening’ the superhero content for appropriateness (i.e. violence, language and scantily clad female superheroes) before sharing with my young children. Well, Disney has now made my life easier with their introduction of a brand new superhero show just for preschoolers!
PJ Masks, a new animated superhero show for preschoolers will have its world premiere Friday, September 18, with back-to-back episodes launching at 11am and 11:30am on the Disney Junior block on Disney Channel. Following the show’s debut, PJ Masks will air on Fridays at 11am on Disney Junior on Disney Channel. Episodes will also encore on weekends at 10am and 7:30pm on Disney Junior the Channel (24-hour channel).
The premiere season will feature 52 eleven-minute episodes that follow 6-year-old Connor, Amaya and Greg, who transform into their dynamic superhero alter egos, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko, when they put on their pajamas at night and activate their special animal amulets. Together the three friends embark on action-packed capers, solving mysteries, having nighttime adventures and learning life lessons all along the way.
I haven’t gotten to watch yet, but as a mom I appreciate the show’s mission “to help kids discover their own unique inner superheroes without the “kapows” and “thwacks” found in older superhero shows!”
PJ Masks is produced by eOne, the company behind the worldwide hit Peppa Pig, and Frog Box in collaboration with the award-winning French animation studio TeamTO, along with Disney Junior and France 5.
Another interesting tidbit – PJ Masks is based French author Romuald Racioppo’s imaginative and striking picture book series “Les Pyjamasques.” A much-loved publishing property in its native France, where the books debuted in 2008, the series currently includes 15 titles with plans for two new releases every year.

My twins 4 yrs old just loves this show i so wish it would come out with the season dvd so i can buy it for them
I’m looking for the Cat boy Halloween costume. I m thinking since this is a new show the costumes aren’t available?
My 4yr old son has fallen madly I love with this cartoon and has requested to dress up as Catboy for Halloween. Do you guy who where you will be selling this costume?
PJ Masks is our new favorite!! My boys 1 & 3 instantly fell in love with this show!!
I am also looking for the cat boy costume ? Please let me know if anyone finds if they are being sold. Thank you so much.
If anyone does find the costumes please let me know. My 4 year old daughter also wants to be Catboy for Halloween
If you come across a cat boy costume, please post the info here. My 4 yr old son wants to be the cat for Halloween. I’ll be keeping my eye out for one as well.
My daughter had been asking to be Owlette! I haven’t been able to find anything! Looks like I’m going to have to make it! I’m going to start with those whole body suites. Wish me luck!! Lol
My 4 year old LOVES PJ Masks. I hope there will some Halloween costumes out this year!
My daughter loves this show also so I have been searching everywhere for the costumes. I think it’s too soon! Going to make a mask and have her wear long sleeve and pants in red and make mask and shirt l go with felt. Maybe try that?
After much searching, this is the best I could find. It’s not the whole costume, just the mask. But, it’s a start.

There are masks on Etsy but I haven’t found a costume yet either. Looks like we’re going to have to be creative!!
My sons birthday is coming up and he loves this show so much! I wonder when they will start selling toys or DVDs? I am trying to get as close to this as possible!
My daughter wants to be Owelette. I found morph suits online that you could cut the face out and use. Target has white wings that I am going to try to dye to match the Morph suit. So my question is pink or red??? I can’t find magenta colored suits.
I found a mask on etsy today store name junknstuff by Heidi
My son absolutely loves this show! He is wanting to be catboy for halloween. If anyone comes across one I would really appreciate if you would post the info on where you found it at. Thank you!
My grandson -5- lives this show also. And also wants to be Catboy for Halloween. I’ll keep looking to see if I can find these to make it with. If anyone comes up with ideas post!
Has anyone found a PJ mask Halloween costume. Any ideas for a DIY? my daughter is obsessed with Owlgirl. What’s a mom to do??
Hi, my soon to be 4year old has fallen in love with this show. I have two shows recorded already and the DVR set to record the season. My son has requested this costume for Halloween, trying to find it. Is it out yet?
Did anyone find the costume?
If you search for PJ Masks on Etsy, they have some felt masks available for all three characters.
Hi everyone! As of now, there aren’t any costumes available. I’ve passed along your inquiries to Disney!
My 3 year old HAS to be catboy and I so wish there were costumes. My attempts at homemade I fear will fall short of his high expectations :-/ someone needs to help us all!!!
Etsy has the mask for sell
My son would also love to be Cat boy for Halloween. Please let me know if anything has changed with regards to costume availability.
I hope they don’t wait forever to put the toys out. I feel like Disney Jr show toys always come out way after the show starts.
I’ve seen a few costume ideas on Pinterest & a few shops on Etsy are making them.
Mine too! Guess I’ll be improvising this year..red cape and red mask 🙂
I’m planning on making one using a blue body suit and a full batman mask, which I’ll spray paint the same color blue. Then I’ll cut and hem the body suit at the neck, so the batman mask fits over. I’ll use felt to design the chest logo and will see it to the body suit. The tall can be created with blue fabric stuffed with cotton stuffing and sowed into the back. Hope this helps.
Please let me no if any pj mask Halloween costumes are available that’s all he wants to be
My son loves this show. He wants to be gecko. I haven’t found any costumes but figured I could make it using a green sweatshirt and pants. I planning on adding a tail on the pants and adding a green Mohawk on the hood of the jacket. I’m sure you could diy a cat boy costume using blue. .. Only adding a cat tail & ears 🙂
My four-year-old has also requested to be Catboy for Halloween. I don’t think the Disney folks will have production on costumes in gear yet, so I bought a royal blue long-sleeve shirt and a pair of royal blue sweat pants. I got a big bottle of glow-in-the-dark fabric paint and painted the Catboy stripes on the sweats and shirt. I also got a simple eye mask (purple, but a blue Sharpie covered it all up well) and fashioned a tail and hood with ears. Total cost was about $20 and a few hours’ time. Hope this gives some other Catboy mommies a place to start. ?
My son LOVES this show. It was love at first episode! He pretends he is Cat Boy all day! I really need for their to be toys at Christmas time for under the tree! Is a Cat Boy halloween costume available?
I MIGHT be able to help. Found great wings on a site called Magic Cabin. They run about 15 for regular size. Might need to paint the cloth lightly for red. Also, Etsy have easy/glue gun made you can copy. Good luck to all the good moms trying to please a little one.
Thanks I will tried to do it .
please be careful when having them watch the show, on multiple occasions I have heard dialogue that isn’t that appropriate, in fact my sister and I couldn’t stand it anymore to the point where we had to stop letting the kids watch it because it was so innapropriare
I’d like to thank Disney for introducing a super hero show without a line of costumes RIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN! I just bought footed jammies on amazon in blue and green for my kiddos to be gecko and catboy. I am making a mask for each, and tail and will be painting the designs on the jammies. someone at Disney missed a HUGE marketing opportunity, oops. check out amazon tho if you find yourself with time to whip up the add-ons
My 3 year old son also wants to be Catboy for Halloween! He seems to be a big hit with the little boys! Love it!
My 3 yr old made the whole house stop first episode! He has us record every eposide so far and if we let him could watch all day. He sings the theme song and is in LOVE! I’ve never seen him love a show so much! It’s tge cutest thing. Id love to get him pj masks toy for his birthday, but i don’t think anything will be out.
I found these bodysuits on Amazon. I am thinking of getting the white one and dying it the color of Owlette, and getting a mask and diy some wings.

Dis anyone find the gekko costume? My done isn’t settling on anything else. He had already picked out a ninja turtle one but after the show started is obsessed.
I had no idea what my 3 year old twins were saying and finally i caught “PJ Masks” on TV and figured it out. I was looking to buy a season on DVD thinking it was just something I had never heard of. Unfortunately, I now know have to wait for at least the first season to air to buy them the season. Ive just been recording the episodes and they will sit and watch them over and over like its the first time they’ve seen it. Keep it up Disney! 5 stars from Landon and London!
My 4 year old son wants to be owlet and one found costumes yet?
just wondering if there are any toys for the pj masks I would love to get my son some for Christmas he loves this show .
I hope Disney sees how much kids LOVE this show!! My 2.5 year old son LOVES pj masks!! I really hope they come out with some clothing, toys for Christmas! And I hope party supplies will come out by his 3rd birthday in Feb, if not Etsy will be getting a lot of business! Does anyone know of an email to contact Disney so everyone can pour in the love of PJ masks?!
My son stops everything for Pj masks! In fact, this morning he ran up and down the hallway saying, “I’m Catboy, and I’m here to save the day!” This show is a winner.
My 6 year old son LOVES Catboy.
My daughter LOVES this show! Of course Owlette is her favorite. I have looked online for Christmas toys…does anyone know of any?

My daughter loves the show and every time she watches it she wants the costume. But I want the pjs that are comfy and are like the costume
Hi Mommies!
I feel all of your pain. My 3 year old’s only request from Santa is PJ Masks toys. Came across this article that answers the burning question… toys will not be made until 2016- ugh! I did purchase very cute masks from Etsy.

Thank you for your information, I have been trying to find “cat boy” all over the place for my grandson and no one has heard of this show.
Hallo Glenda
My 5yo child loves them too ! Have you finally found where to buy their DVDs?
Thanks
Mimmo
My 2 year old LOVES this show!!! He runs around saying “It’s time to be a hero mom.” I need Disney to come out with the dvd soon. He is running my phone battery down every day watching PJ Masks on YouTube while we’re in the car.
THANK YOU!! I felt the same way! I couldn’t figure out why my 2yr old started talking to me in a condescending way and sarcastic. I stay home with her and we go to a lot of child focused groups like music, MOPS, etc, so I know she doesn’t hear the things she was saying or the tone in which she was saying those things in. This started not long after PJ Mask was launched but did not connect her behavior to the show as I didn’t sit down and watch it, which is my fault I should have and will not make that same mistake again, I experienced the same behavior from my niece a couple yrs back when she was staying at my house while her parents were away and she watched the 7D’s…..totally inappropriate for Disney Jr or any Disney channel. I sat down and watched PJ with her and explained that she could not watch the show anymore and pointed out how they talked and how it wasn’t nice to talk like that to someone. To bad cuz she loved the show and still asks for it but she follows up and answers her own request to watch with a “no, they don’t talk very nice”.
I think the concept of the show is good however clean up the inappropriate tone and then it would be a great show.
Wish they would tone down the name calling but my son loves this show.
