If you were watching Disney in the 80's and 90's, you might remember Art Attack. This was a show in which the host, Neil Buchanan, created murals and art using items found in everyday life. Coming soon, a new generation of Disney fans can see the revived version of the show on Disney Junior.

The show gets an updated host (Jassa Ahluwalia), but will retain the same premise. In addition, "Big Art Attacks" will be featured much as they were in the past. Viewers tuning in can expect to see new characters and sets.
