Meet Elmo’s New Puppy in Sesame Street

Debuting on HBO Max, fans of all ages will learn how Tango made her way to Sesame Street in a new 30-minute special Furry Friends Forever: Elmo Gets a Puppy. A sneak peek at the 2D-animated adoption adventure sees Elmo and Grover come up with the perfect name for their newest friend.

Elmo and Grover discover a sweet, stray puppy – whom they name Tango – and embark on an adventure throughout the neighbourhood with Sesame Street friends. They search for the local pet adoption fair in the hopes of finding her a “forever home.”

Tango will join Sesame Street‘s 52nd Season as both an animated character and a live-action Sesame Street Muppet, debuting this fall on HBO Max and on PBS in 2022.

New mobs, items in Minecraft

Minecrafters are heading to the End in Minecraft Dungeons’ Echoing Void update, making it the fourth and last DLC to be released.

The new content in this update includes the new region of the End. Besides a new area, players can expect new items and missions, which include artefacts, gears, enchantments, and consumables. These new missions will take place in old environments as well as new ones added with the update.

New mobs to the series include the Blastling, an Enderman with glowing limbs capable of shooting energy. The last new regular mob introduced is the Watchling, an Enderman with thicker limbs and eyes all over its body. There is a lot more in the new content. With no confirmation of a second season pass, this may be the last content that fans of Minecraft Dungeons can expect.
