The likes of Of Monsters And Men, The Shins, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Regina Spektor and Birdy also feature. James Corden also swaps his usual stint on The Late Late Show by being a part of the musical cast. Featuring over 50 songs made famous by The Beatles, Sia takes on 'Blackbird' for the animated series, while Pink performs 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'. In a press release, the 'Beat Bugs' are described as "charming, funny and adventurous", while they also "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, loveable kids. "They are best friends who band together to explore and learn in an overgrown suburban backyard, which to them is their entire universe." Beat Bugs is set to hit Netflix in August 2016.
