Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Doc McStuffins" in Malay language version.
I just thought that nobody needs another male doctor or another male leader in a group. What we needed was a female character.

It was Disney that suggested, in your first pitch meeting, that Doc, her doctor mother, and her stay-at-home dad be African-American.
