PBS and Disney?

[awoogala]

Does anyone know if disney has a hand in PBS? I could have sworn the new wild Kratts is a Disney series. Am I just insane?or is there some production company or other way they are connected?

after researching, the kratt brothers company, 9 story entertainment, lists Disney channel (along with nick, etc.) as a "partner" on their website. Maybe it's a long shot type of connection, but it seems there is some connection.
the thing that got me started was that the animation really reminded me of Kim possible, and the fact that he beginning music has a bubble sequence, and there is what seemed to me, a hidden mickey, that was so obvious that my kids asked if it was a Disney show.
